Photographer’s Note

Dreaming on the board
and watching the sea...
on the trip to greek islands
of the Aegean Sea.

Here follows a greek song:

If I could change the world (An mporoysa ton kosmo na allaza) - Pliatsikas Filippos
------------------------------------------------------
Πρώτη φορά που την είδα, στεκότανε,
τη νύχτα εκείνη που η Ρώμη καιγότανε,
χιλιάδες χρόνια φωτιά και μηνύματα,
μα δεν ξεχνώ του κορμιού της τα κύματα.

Την είδα πάλι στις όχθες του Βόλγα,
που ένας στρατιώτης τη φώναξε Όλγα,
κάτι ψιθύρισε μέσα στο κρύο,
τότε μου 'χε φανεί τόσο αστείο.

Αν θα μπορούσα τον κόσμο να άλλαζα,
θα ξαναέβαφα γαλάζια τη θάλασσα.
Κάτι αν μπορούσα στον κόσμο να άλλαζα,
θα ξαναέβαφα γαλάζια τη θάλασσα.

Στο Πάλος νύχτα τ' όνομά της αφήνει,
γραμμένο κάπου στου Κολόμβου την πρύμνη,
τότε που οι Ισπανοί ξεκινούσαν,
και για μια άγνωστη μοίρα μεθούσαν.

Βρέθηκε κάποια στιγμή στη Γαλλία,
πρώτη του Μάη σε μια άδεια πλατεία,
σε λίγο οι φοιτητές θα ξεσπούσαν,
και μια αλλιώτικη ζωή θα ζητούσαν.

Αν θα μπορούσα τον κόσμο να άλλαζα,
θα ξαναέβαφα γαλάζια τη θάλασσα.
Κάτι αν μπορούσα στον κόσμο να άλλαζα,
θα ξαναέβαφα γαλάζια τη θάλασσα.

Σήμερα έχει στα χέρια ένα αγόρι,
πάλι ξεκίνησαν οι Σταυροφόροι,
μα ποιος ακούει και ποιος ενδιαφέρεται,
για ένα κόσμο που βράζει και φλέγεται.

Αν θα μπορούσα τον κόσμο να άλλαζα,
θα ξαναέβαφα γαλάζια τη θάλασσα.
Κάτι αν μπορούσα στον κόσμο να άλλαζα,
θα ξαναέβαφα γαλάζια τη θάλασσα.

------------------------------------------------

The first time I saw her, she was standing,
The night that Rome was on fire,
thousands of years (with) fire and messages,
but, I cannot forget the waves of her body.

There I saw her again at the banks of Volga's river,
where a soldier called her Olga,
she whispered something in the cold
I thought it was so funny back then.

If I could change the world,
I would turn the sea blue again.
If I could change something in the world,
I would turn the sea blue again.

On Palos, she leaves her name one night,
written somewhere upon the stern of Colombus,
at that time when the Spaniards were setting sail,
and they were intoxicated with an unknown destiny .

Once she found herself in France,
the first day of May in an empty square
the students were about to start protesting,
and they would ask a different (better) life.

If I could change the world,
I would turn the sea blue again.
If I could change something in the world,
I would turn the sea blue again.

Today there she is, cruddling a boy,
the Crusadors setted sail again,
but who is to hear or to be interested,
in a world boiling and flaming.

If I could change the world,
I would turn the sea blue again.
If I could change something in the world,
I would turn the sea blue again.

Kalispera Constantino.

You have a very good eye and you have done a very good composition with the girl, the fence and the sea in the background.
Well done and thanks for sharing.

Ta leme, file mou.

I like your composition here, i think the two elements(the boat and the girl) are well placed here. Well done. Congratulations.

Hello Constantino,

A soulful glance at the sea, and a most beautiful set of lyrics to give it dimension. I like this post very much. A few days ago I saw my 9-year old granddaughter on the balcony at the hotel room Mexico looking wistfully at the sea, in exactly the same atmosphere. (We had all attended a destination wedding in Cancun.) In preparing return to her normal life in Virginia, she said, "Granddaddy, I don't want to leave."

Warm regards, Constantino,

Bulent

Hello Costantino,
A nicely composed picture. The girl is well placed and her colours match the surroundings perfectly. She is also nicely balanced by the boat. Well done,
Greetings,
Gert

Charo (31671) 2008-07-04 8:38

Γεια σας Costantino,
Μια ωραία σκηνή του κοριτσιού κοιμισμένος για την railing δίπλα στη θάλασσα. Εξαιρετική σύνθεση με μεγάλη γραφικά και μεγάλη χρώματα και λεπτομέρειες.
Φιλικά
Charo

Hello Costantino,

horizontal and vertical lines with the lovely life on the corner, enough for formidable photo. With irresistible blue. And the boat to take ours dreams. Thank you very much, big friend in big Greece. Also I am sensible for the song. Thank you for this inspiration.

Friendly your

Olá Costantino,
bonita essa foto com a criança a contemplar o navia, na verdade parece estar dormindo, hehe. Gostei dos vários tons azuis da imagem também.
Parabéns e Abraço

Γεια σου Κωνσταντινε,
Υπεροχη η ματια σου εδω που αφηνει την ψυχη μας να ταξιδευει οπως τα ονειρα της μικρης....

ciao Costantino,
scatto semplice ma di grande effetto visivo,
la bambina e il cargo sullo sfondo,con la ringhiera bianca a dividere in due l'inquadratura.
ottimo

Longroute (9419) 2008-07-05 1:01

Bravo Costantino,
la composizione è molto semplice ma carina. La nave e la bambina sembrano pensare l'una all'altro. Una buona definizione.
Buona serata,
Donato

Καλημέρα Κώστα!
Πανέμορφη στιγμή! Πολύ συναισθηματική εικόνα. Μου αρέσει για την γλυκύτητα της την χρωματική αρμονία και την ισορροπημένη σύνθεση. Ο στίχος αγαπημένος μου, "θα ξανά έβαφα γαλάζια την θάλασσα" εγώ συμπληρώνω θα ξαναέβαφα πράσινα τα δένδρα, κόκκινα τα δειλινά, μενεξεδιά τα λούλουδα, λευκά τα περιστέρια, χρυσοκίτρινη την ανατολή του ήλιου, και θα ξαναέβαφα την μαύρη μας τύφλα με όλα τα χρώματου του κόσμου.
αμπλελοφιλισοφίες θα μου πείς...
χαιρετώ
Γεώργιος Αλλά αυτό είναι το σημερινό μου "Dreaming" που λέει και ο τίτλος σου

kpav (5023) 2008-07-05 1:23

Γεια σου Κωσταντίνε, απίθανη σύνθεση με όλα τα στοιχεία της εικόνας τοποθετημένα αριστοτεχνικά σε ένα υπέροχο κάδρο. Οι στοίχοι του σημειώματος ,αποτελούν το ιδανικό soundtrack της φωτογραφίας σου. Χαιρετώ,
Κώστας.

Hi Costantino,
Fascinating atmosphere with superb composition. The perspective is great, I like the beautiful blue colours and the lovely little girl. Very well done! Have a nice weekend
George

ribeiroantonio (21921) 2008-07-05 5:06

The compo, clarity and light are all very good. And, the dreaming mood is very well represented with the girl having her head resting on her arms and watching the sea. Well done.
Antonio

polpo56 (7952) 2008-07-05 5:28

Ciao Costantino,

Bravo, bello scatto, semplice e intenso allo stesso tempo, magistralmente accompagnato dalla tua nota.
Buona domenica

Ciao Costantino, grazie per gli auguri e al prossimo non mancare:), bella composizione con la bimba che guarda all'orizzonte, splendidi come a solito mare e cielo della Grecia, ciao Silvio

kdialyna (3068) 2008-07-07 10:38

Δεν μπορώ να αποφασίσω φίλε Κωνσταντίνε, εάν το ποίημα δένει απόλυτα με την φωτογραφία ή η φωτογραφία με το ποίημα.
Μια φωτογραφία που φανερώνει την ευαίσθητη ματιά αλλά και ψυχή του φωτογράφου που την έκανε.
Δεν έχω τίποτα άλλο να πω.
Συγχαρητήρια
Κώστας

Ciao Costantino,
la bambina in primo piano sulla sinistra e la nave "cargo" in secondo piano sulla destra, animano questa tua bella foto!
Essendo però la bambina, il soggetto principale, il titolo che hai dato a questa tua foto, ritengo sia molto indovinato.
Chissà cosa starà sognando!

Francesco
