| Daily life with cable salad | Photo

Photographer’s Note

One big advantage of Germany is its infrastructure. Everything is well organized, planned and structured, unlike in Greece.

Although Greek infrastructure is not benchmark - able, it has somehow soul. Here I took a photo of a classical street scene with its nice, beautiful, ugly, modern and old school architecture, with its narrow streets, with its cable salad.

I like it a lot, even most of my friends do not understand it. I even like it more than the structured version I live day by day in Germany. Or is it just because I miss only my home? And overestimate the situation? Who knows, at least I do not feel foreign when being there, at home. I feel home. I am home.

Have a nice day
Saki

Hallo Sakis,

ich denke dass ich deinen Gedankengang nachvollziehen kann, es hat schon irgendwie etwas liebenswertes, dieses organisierte Chaos in den Straßen und Gassen..
tolle Aufnahme, mein Kompliment..

liebe Grüße, Bernd

Γεια σου Σάκη
Πολύ καλή δουλειά στην 'άναρχη' καθημερινότητα της Ελλάδας μας. Η αλήθεια είναι ότι όλοι μας ζηλεύουμε αυτό που μας λείπει.
Καλή σου μέρα
Χρήστος

Hi Sakis.
Great colour and sharpness, great exposure of the light. I really like the arrangement of all these buildings and the perspective of the gently curving street. It's a bit 'messy' but somehow very inviting. We have these cable salads here in Melbourne, too.
Regards,
Andrew

Γειά σου Σάκη!
Μία εικόνα σου εδώ από μόνη της μιλά! Μία ματιά στην πραγρατικότητα που θέλεις να πείς και να δείξεις πολλά, αλλά ο συναισθηματισμός σου σε οδηγεί αλλού! Ναι είναι κάτι που το βλέπουμε δεν το επιθυμούμε , αλλά αυτό το σαλατικό, που όλοι μας έχουμε στην καρδιά μας και ενώ μας πονά το υπεραγαπούμε!
Καλά να περνάς όπου και αν είσαι! αλλά η Greece-σαλάτα! μην ξεχνάς! είναι νόστιμη γιατί έχει γνήσιο ελαιόλαδο...
Χαιρετώ σε
Γεώργιος

Yasu vre filemou,
I will agree with you. Although daily life is much easier and organised, in Germany, much like in the U.S., there is always something, (a lot of things) that pull me to Greece, over Germany and the U.S. The warmth, and fullness of culture.
Nice scene and colors filemou.
ta leme.
Salvator.
