Ο στόχος του blog μου: Να προβάλλω τα ευεργετήματα που προκύπτουν όταν αγκαλιάζουμε την Πολιτιστική Κληρονομιά και την Οικολογία. Οι αναρτήσεις Ελληνικά και Αγγλικά γίνονται κατόπιν ενδελεχούς επιμέλειας και έρευνας, με δικές μου φωτογραφίες. Απολαύστε το ταξίδι! Εμπνέομαι από τη προσέγγιση της ταξιδιώτισσας, όχι της τουρίστριας και από την επιθυμία να μοιραστώ αυτήν την οπτική για να κάνουμε τον κόσμο πιο όμορφο, ένα σπίτι όπου ο καθένας θα βρίσκει το χώρο όπου θα εκφράζει ενεργητικά την αγάπη του και […]

Originally posted on Words, Pauses, Noises:
In her short piece, ‘Mad Love Goes to the Beach,’ Lisa Samloglou engages all five of her reader’s senses as she chronicles her internal struggle between her childhood love of the countryside with her rebellious teenaged preference for the city. She allows us to see the lush green of the landscape outside of Athens, smell the sea salt as she walks along the beach and picks up shells, hear the cicadas hum late at night, feel the…

We had relatives arriving from landscapes as diverse as New York and Sudan where they had emigrated and settled. I dreamed […]

Enjoy the journey! 2013 © Copyright. All rights reserved At some point I caught myself saying ‘my blog is my life’ and I got scared. Wherever I went, whatever I saw I was thinking aloud ‘this can be a post in my blog’. I would not let go of my camera. I kept mental notes […]

I am walking mesmerized by the odor of thousand lemon trees like a sleepwalker in slow motion, eyes wandering but not seeing, enveloped in the blurring light of festive green. I get a glimpse of the Santa hat, an unusual sight in April. A teddy bear is hanging with the laundry left out to dry in the garden; a common practice in our Mediterranean countries. I stop still, nailed on the ground. I start taking photos as if shooting could give me the answers. […]

This blog post is an experiment in poetic prose matched with photos from the island of Kea or Tzia that have inspired it. It has been reviewed by the highly acclaimed Exile Room, an art space and very active non-profit organisation operating at the centre of Athens “obsessed” with promoting and educating on the art and practice of documentaries. The last years in the Exile Room they show regularly distinctive documentaries from the international scene; they also organise seminars and host the most hospitable […]

A tree is blooming at the Greek island of Kea I discovered this tree last summer, last August, in my garden, drowned in a jungle of oleander shrubs and bushes. I started clearing the ground off dried leaves, mowing twigs that sprang up stiff and leafless. And then I was surprised to reveal two trees, very close to one another that had become one, their trunks abandoned to the wildness of vegetation. They had formed a symbiotic pair, inseparable, that for years had […]

Usually the words come first. Today, looking at the photos from my first walk by the sea, I have no words. Words do not serve me. What I need are brushes and a huge palette of paints to catch the arrival of spring after a long cold angry winter that took us by surprise. The intensity of the weather left some of us deeply wounded. We turn to nature to find a shelter for our uncertainties. To see a sign of the regeneration we are […]
