The worst migration crisis since World War II. (The pictures are from Lesvos island, Greece)
…
I have no words to express myself, to describe the pictures or my emotions and I really I don’t want to do it.
The only thing that I know is that I went to Lesvos island to cover the arrival of the refugees with suspicious thoughts about them and after just one day I started “seeing” in several boats my daughter, my wife and myself
One evening before two weeks, I found myself walking in Pallouriotissa neighborhood,
I had a strange mood and a great need just to walk and make photos without a concept, just photos to clear my mind which has stuck
Always I loved this kind of neighborhoods the people are curious and knows the meaning of hospitality,
I found two teenagers playing there, in an abandoned square.
I was very suprised when I realized their game
One of them (Dani Amourri) filming his partner with an handmade tool for his mobile.
I asked from my new friend to send me what he got from his shootings with his mobile phone
so after when I had time I made this Video
The video I was made for them, for their inspiration,
(sorry if the result is not professionally under the international standards :-)
Maybe this will be a good inspiration for you, because for me it was
Till I arrived to my home, I continued the “shootings”
The night came and unfortunately I didn’t have more time
I had to stop
Next time I’ll stay longer, a new chapter opened for me
A very good chapter
According to the Municipality: “5000 carnival, 17 floats, 25,000 spectators and a lot of fun, composed the scene that was played at noon Sunday in Kyrenia Avenue in Aglantzia, for the 5th consecutive year”
If the criterion of success for an event are laughing and playing, then the success is undeniable
In recent years the foolproof metrisis scoop for me is the children and especially, my daughter
and has proved to me, without having to have special skills (analysis, measurements, surveys etc.)
that children are the toughest critics, without having any social Behaviour criteria
So I asked my daughter: “Have fun;;;”
I got no answer was dipped in confetti, soiled hands
and a laugh (Gosh this laughter)
At night the house was quiet, calm, would you say empty, my little sleeping, motionless (no entreaties and no constraint) and occasionally “snoring”.
This morning, within the spirit and joy, telling me without pausing her yesterday’s adventures …….
Yes, my baby had a good time …
The carnival succeeded :)
Well done, bravo, congratulations to all those who are tired and not unjustly,
next year (to us by God well) I will “get dressed”, I gonna let myself and I will playing
Inside the Nicosia there is a space, like a diamond, I had the most beautiful surprise
the first time I visited I could not believe my eyes and did not expect that we will see something like that, accustomed to such places in Greece and almost everywhere in Europe
I refer to the Flea market there you will find that you want
as long as you have the desire to look for
The people there are friendly, smiling and open mood
Small stands with different things
and every weekend is open for memories and treasure hunters
Flea market celebrates closing two years of operation,
the friendly owner made a small party for friends with barbecue and free beer for all
My favorite place for relaxation that combines for me the relaxed cafe and for my daughter playground, was,
and unfortunately I say was, Park Prodromou was,
because the Nicosia Municipality 4 months ago decided to remove the swings and slides
from this little paradise, this small oasis in the city for many parents, couples, students etc
The time we went to ride, the children’s games has disappeared, Mr. Nikos who is the soul of this park, helpless tries to explain and he hoped that it will quickly be replaced
I say soul, Nikos because before installed in the park with modest refreshment stand all of the surrounding space was inside the trash, a perfect place for “illegal couples” and drug addicts
I do not know who is the mastermind but he must have some grand plan in his mind,
because you do not destroy a playground, a little paradise for children and adults,
Cyprus, Prodromos park
if you don’t have something ambitious to do???
Otherwise if you do it without a plan and schedule, then you have no mind or you are unable to work for the social good.
I am absolute, because I speak on behalf of my daughter
and for mr.Nikos, the man who still believes in dreams and he try for them
Today was a very special day for me…
I was in a swimming pool in Nicosia having fun with these “unique dolphins” and their “trainer”.
I feel lucky and blessed to have met this extraordinary professional who will assist me
on my next “project” and in the process of doing that …have fun with yours trully at the same time…..
Cant wait to be in the pool again follow and play with all these wild creatures !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
