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.

“the rain in Ikariain falls mainly on the mountains”

BAD: the electric network is old and very badly maintained, so lightnings cause many blackouts.
GOOD: the lightnings show superwow in a blackouted landscape at night
SO-SO: I tried to take a picture of a lightning and of course I failed. I captured the rain on the trees and the strange light in the sky.

άμε και πάλι γύρισε πουλί μ’ αγαπημένο
-ντούρνα, ντούρνα, ντούρνα, μας έπιασε φουρτούνα-
και μη μ’ αφήνεις μοναχό και παραπονεμένο
Ντούρνα, ντούρνα, ντούρνα, μας έπιασε φουρτούνα,
ε, γιαλελί κακούργα, μας έπιασε φουρτούνα.

Go, my beloved bird, make sure you come back to me again

don’t leave me here to whine all lonely,

These photos go with a story I’m making in my mind and writing down. They are a very important part of one of the three projects I’m working on. They were taken with “fast mode” so they are not good for Flickr.
This one in particular is a zoom in of “la tromba marina”.

ΝΤΟΥΡΝΑ
—————
Ήλιε μου στο βασιλεμό θέ να σου παραγγείλω
-ντούρνα, ντούρνα, ντούρνα, μας έπιασε φουρτούνα-
να πάεις να μου χαιρετάς το κόκκινό μου μήλο.
Ντούρνα, ντούρνα, ντούρνα, μας έπιασε φουρτούνα,
ε, γιαλελί κακούργα, μας έπιασε φουρτούνα.
