Man from Port Gaios, a photo from Kerkyra, Ionian Islands

Photographer's Note

A shot from Port Gaios, located on a tiny island of Paxos - Corfu Island ( Greece)

I saw him sitting in front of a shop, so I took the zoom to catch him closer. When I had came back from the trip and uploaded photos I noticed - that he was praying, when I was taking the photo I didnt see that..

Witaj Paulina,
you've not been posting pictures for a long time. Welcome back! This picture is well composed, but the man is not exactly focussed. The picture seems to me very typical. The man is playing with his 'komboloi'. The 'komboloi' are worry beads like the rosary but not used for prayer. They are merely an instrument of relaxation and stress management.

Kind regards from Germany,
Roland
