Let’s say that my blog is a TV channel and everybody is on holidays. I will play repeats. But not repeats from my blog; I will play repeats from my Flickr. For the next few weeks I will be copying from there and pasting here a selection of my photos which I had taken care beforehand to tag: “blogged”. These are not exactly the “most commented” ones. The “blogged photos” are the ones that brought about interesting stories, discussions and information. All of them put together make something like a documentary.

-these are my favourite colours.
Is it serious, doctor?.. [...]

This is exactly the spot where the first real tourists set a tent in Ikaria a looong ago in the mid-70s. They were young Germans, most of them students, most of them from Frankfurt, and they read the philosophy of Marcuse. (according to old local chronicles)
It is believed that in spite of the Weirdo cult, there [...]

Everybody has smelt lilies. Could this ‘almost a seaweed’ give the best scent of all its magnificent relatives?
