When the Greek Gods wanted to get closer to people and watch their lives, this might be just the place where they would sit and make small bets on the people’s futures.

Every Saturday I walk around Athens. One of the places I always visit is ancient Pnika across Acropolis - which is a very nice archaeological place to visit. It had rain the previous night and I had just gotten my new UV lens filter. Here's a test shot of water reflections being removed.

It was a particularly windy day in Athens and we were strolling on Pani Hill, when the buzz of a red dragonfly caught our attention. Suddenly, we noticed we were surrounded by these exquisite creatures, all struggling to hold on to these tiny flower buds, during the gusting winds. We believe that this particular photo en-capsules the effort these small dragonflies put on, simply trying to survive another day.

I was on Tsia, an island in Greece, on my 9th day of travel, and I thought this picture captured the essence of summer perfectly - we try to be on the beach trying to beat the heat, relaxing, taking a break from work, having a drink.. And this beautiful afternoon in a not-so-touristy place with a few heads bobbing in the sea reflect that exact calmness which the word ‘summer’ exudes

After an day exploring Delfi, ancient Greece, I stopped at a cafe overlooking the gulf for a sunset snack. What a spectacular view, it is no wonder the ancients decided upon this spot for one of their great cities.
