Fira by Night

A picture I took in Fira (Santorini, Greece), last summer. It is a long exposure shot and I've repainted some parts of it. Fira is the modern capital of the Greek Aegean island, Santorini. It is a traditional settlement. The view from there is magnificent, with a unique panorama showing the 18 km long caldera from southern Cape Akrotiri to northern Cape Ag. Nikolaos, plus the volcanic island Nea Kameni at the center with Thirassia Island in the distant west on blue Aegean water. Fira is a town of white-washed houses built on the edge of the 400 m high caldera on the western edge of the semi-circular island of Thera

I took this photo in Naxos, Greece. These old and
moving people wanted me to take a photo of them.

I took this picture in Mykonos, Greece. I've used the
"tilt shift" technique to simulate a miniature scene.

A lovely landscape I captured in Naxos, Greece . I first thought
this was a small toilet block, but not at all. It's a magic door. :)

This is a picture I took in Greece. I also made the drawing on paper. I'm going to start something new in the "Pencil Vs Camera" series, I'll try to see "through things". This image is the beginning of a new turn in the PvsC concept... Please, see the whole "Pencil Vs Camera" album.

I took this picture in a street of Athens, Greece.
I applied the "tilt shift process" (selective
focus) to simulate a miniature scene.

I took this photo in Athens, Greece, with the Acropolis just behind me... Mount Lycabettus is a Cretaceous limestone hill in Athens, Greece. At 277 meters (908 feet) above sea level, the hill (also known as Lycabettos or Lykabettos) is the highest point in the city that surrounds it. Pine trees cover its base, and at its peak are the 19th century Chapel of St. George, a theatre, and a restaurant.

"If you can dream it, you can do it" is a famous quote by Walt Disney... I took the photo in Greece (at the Ancient Thera, an antique city located at the top of Messavouno mountain in the island of Santorini) The stairs are part ot the ruins found there. There was a spectacular view down to the sea. I also made the drawing showing an orca escaping from a "frame in a frame", a way out to another universe, which is hold by Mickey Mouse, the famous character created in 1928 by Walt Disney.

I've taken this picture in a very narrow street in Fira,
Santorini island, Greece. I also made the rough sketch.
I really had the feeling to enter in someone's mouth... :)

Abandoned Cats

All these cats are homeless. They manage to survive thanks
to the kindness of some people feeding them
in the street when it's possible...

First Photos from Greece!
.
I just came back from an unforgettable trip in Greece. I was in Athens, Santorini, Naxos and Mykonos. I took more than 5000 photos. Here below are the first pictures I already selected, edited and posted (click on any of the following images to enlarge it and to know where exactly it was taken). I'll be sharing more pictures from Greece in the coming weeks/months. Thanks for watching.
