  Until it doesn't

  I am here, for one more year, looking at your picture on the wall. The one I took of you in May 2002 when you were just a clumsy puppy. I notice a few spots of dirt on the frame.…

  Clumsy footsteps

  I always knew that this tree was there but this time I saw it differently. I had never noticed how almost human it looked. It was probably the light that transformed it, giving…

  Better late than ever.

  Today it was a good day. I spent the morning wandering around the village and I felt genuinely happy to see how much the recent rains have changed the landscape. Since the…

  To rain or not to rain

  I had taken care of the day’s tasks in the city and sat on a bench to think what should I do next. I still had a couple of hours before dark and I hadn't been to Heraklion…

  Satisfaction

  Whenever I visit Heraklion I usually go for a short walk at the port too. The old port that is, which sits right next to the new one but it is way more beautiful! Apart…

  Happy new month / December 2025

  I woke up in my grandmother's house and a quick glimpse out of the window convinced me to grab my camera and go to the garden. The colours and the light were just too good to…

  Leaving traces

  New York City has been in the news lately, with the new mayor drawing quite a bit of attention. From what I’ve read, he seems to be rather different from those before him. I live…

  The first trip of 2025, about nine months ago, gave me the rare opportunity to be close to snow covered mountains and a lake hidden in thick fog. Now, as we are about to enter…

  Brave new world
