Campaigning for forests and wind power generators on my mountain. I am against the one without the other. There has to be both.

Not that it was very high, but still et quand meme and pourtant παρ ολο που λενε πως αν δεν εχεις πεσει πολλες φορες καθως τραβας φωτογραφιες, δεν γινεσαι φωτογραφος, I hate to fall and roll like a bag !
My sin: there upon I [...]

this is from when the sea hit me while photo-shooting!
By now I’m professional enough as to ‘click button fast’ even if I’m in danger of being dragged by the waves. The photo came out like this. It’s a documentory, right? Then it could also be in the news as, “Poor Eleni’s last shot seconds [...]

Hello readers!
I was late to post this entry,
because:
1st) I got a slight cold, I suppose from my walk in the snow when my socks got wet), and it came out as a toothache and I when I have a toothache I hate everything and everybody including myself. Besides this I couldn’t think because my mouth [...]

How capable one can be ?
This is what the way in front of me looks like. The magical walking stick says ‘30 cm of snow’ and my socks are getting wet.

Snow in the Aegean 11 (Jan 29, 2006)

I’m walking on a lane across fields and the last houses of Rahes.
There lives someone I know but I overide the temptation and go on because my name is Eleni Ikanou and this in Greek means ”capable”.
P.S. in Greece girls’ last names are always in the genitive, whereas only boys’ are in the nominative. Let [...]

The locals who love these trees (they are emblematic for the landscape of Rahes) are sorry when they see their lower branches break from the snow and fall off. Yet the snow  ‘prunes’ the tree and lets [...]

A very confused lonely dog -wasn’t sure whether to bark or swing its tail to me.
After a good night’s sleep at Angelos’ house, I took one of his magical walking sticks and declared that I would walk all the way from Rahes (Ραχες) to my ‘barn’, which is under normal conditions a hike of about [...]

Hello readers !
I was supposed to write about something else -’wildshots’ – today ( a fine day and everyone is relieved). It doesn’t seem I will, at least for the time being. Instead I will go on with playing with the snow. Though it’s not really uncommon on this island and it has snowed also [...]
