The
holidays brought us to the northern part of our country.
With Thessaloniki as
our set-off point, we followed mountain paths
leading to crispy landscapes
where nature’s beauty astonished us.
Brushing
against Lake Vegoritida, on the way to
the peacefulness and the magnificence of an unspoiled
natural
habitat. The lake extended surprisingly serene before us.
Absolute
silence was only interrupted by ducks and sounds
of fluttering wings. I burst
out of the car, eager to drink up
the magic with my lens.
I feel lucky because ever since I began taking photography more
seriously, I have had the privilege of revealing a drop of this
ocean of splendour around us.
For those like me, living near the sea, able to smell the salty breeze
daily, the sight of a lake provides a completely different sensation.
It’s all about the zen: stillness, peace, stability and a sense of forever.
It’s funny how some landscapes can seem exotic to some and mundane
to others and vice versa. This short ‘handshake’ with this beautiful
area felt quite personal as if I had met somebody for the first time.
Travelling can definitely offer us a dose of magic filing the gap
of our routine. Even these photos, the remnants of my visit, have
the power to make me smile once again and
I hope this is the case for you too.
Many thanks for all your comments on my last post and
warm wishes in view of the New Year.
This post marks my five year anniversary in blogging,
a journey that I owe to you as well.
I wish all of you and each one of you
g o o d h e a l t h and
the rejuvenating j o y of discovering anything new.
