Waterproof friendship Photo

Photographer’s Note

Just two friends walking together in the narrow and beautiful alleys of the Old town of Kerkyra (Corfu). Waiting for the rain to come, the one had taken the precautionary measures.

The other one, more frivolous, is looking at the sky, rather sceptic. I bet that when the rain started (because it did), the prudent one, (judging from his protective gesture) gave to his buddy a piece of newspaper.

Not exactly an Aesop's myth, but a nice, little, trivial story, I hope. If you want to read something about the Myths of Aesop, CHECK HERE .

strange, I mean 'insolite' in french, but don't know the fine word
the pose of the one on the left is funny, and about the other one, it's how he's dressed !

Hi Hercules,
Not only the funny faces of friendship, but the colors, especially the fine cast of orange tones are very well presented here. A photo which makes me remeber the past and feel happy :)
Best,
Deniz

hej Hercules ,
in a way it looks like a modern version of a Norman rockwell painting, it have the same kind of naughty innocent expression with a lot of warm humor.

Hi Hercules

I like it! It reminds me the paintings by Polish painter Makowski, he painted the children in the paper hats like here. These Greek boys have wonderful expressions. Great job!

hello hercules,
I like this comic shot. It has a gentle humour.Clever of you to link it to Aesop's fables. My favourite genre is pictures of people and so i have picked this out for now. I haven't been keeping up with my TE favourites as I ought to recently but I must try to catch up.
regards
Bev

Γεμάτη χρώματα και ευαισθησία η υπέροχη φωτογραφία σου φίλε Ηρακλή, μας γεμίζει με ευχάριστες αναμνήσεις από τα παιδικά μας χρόνια που φαντάζουν αιώνες μακριά αλλά και που την ίδια στιγμή φαίνονται σαν να ήταν μόλις χθες.
Χαιρετώ
Κώστας
