How I condescend to exist away from that brightness?
I can’t find words to describe the beauty of nature.
It calms my soul, travels my spirit, an absolutely breath-taking journey.
I am searching in vain for something ugly, in the colour pallet. I look at the colour of the butterfly, the shape of the mountain, the flow of the waterfall and I understand that the meaning of being alive, is just being alive! And that, is so plain, so obvious, so simple.

Nevertheless, I observe around, people rushing around in a great panic, as if it were necessary for them to achieve something beyond all that… and the funny thing is… they're not quite sure what it is… That all, seems very weird, very absurd….
How I condescend to exist away from that brightness?
A colorful paint
In the presence of nature's grandeur, words falter in their attempt to capture its essence. It's a realm that soothes my soul and embarks my spirit on a journey beyond imagination. Every step, every gaze, is an immersion into a realm of unspoiled wonder – a journey that steals away my breath and gifts me an indescribable sense of awe.
In the tapestry of colors that nature effortlessly paints, there is no room for ugliness. From the delicate hues of a butterfly's wings to the majestic contours of mountains that touch the heavens, and the graceful dance of waterfalls in their eternal descent – all of it whispers a profound truth: the true meaning of existence is found in the act of living itself. It's a truth so simple, so profound, that it resonates with every rustling leaf and every whispering breeze.
And yet, amidst this serene brilliance, I observe the world of humans. A world in perpetual rush, as though chasing elusive goals shrouded in uncertainty. It's a sight both curious and perplexing. In their hurry, they seem to forget the essence of being, and as they hurry, they seem to lose sight of what they are hurrying toward. The paradox is as stark as it is intriguing.
Unveiling the Hidden North
Embarking on a path less taken, our lenses turned toward the northern reaches of Greece, where the secrets of the land whisper in the wind. Away from the bustling tourist trails, we ventured into the embrace of uncharted beauty, where the landscapes remain untamed and the stories untold.

How can one not long for the simplicity and purity that nature bestows? To step away from the clamor, to immerse oneself in the serenity of unadulterated landscapes – it becomes a silent plea, a contemplation of life's most fundamental desires.
In this juxtaposition of worlds – one vivid and vibrant, the other rushed and restless – lies a narrative that yearns to be told. Through the lens of my camera, I seek to weave a visual tale that celebrates the untamed beauty of Greek nature. A tale that beckons viewers to pause, to breathe, and to rediscover the forgotten art of simply being alive.
