Σαββόπουλος, Μια βραδιά στο Ηρώδειο

September 27, 2018 by Lisa Samloglou

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!

Creative Work: ‘Mad Love Goes to the Beach’ by Lisa Samloglou

February 7, 2016 by Lisa Samloglou

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…
