Urgent Stop over …

” Aether makes up the Heavens
Upper atmosphere where the Gods dwell
More dense than Air, finer than Water ” Aristotle

Escaping to the Gates of Heaven at Full Speed ;

Incurable my Wanderlust … with a sense of Beyond ,of Timelessness ,of a World with Eternal Values ….

* Free from any Electronic Chains … Giant my Wings …

 

Flying over the roof of the world …

beautiful land,beautiful turquoise waters,beautiful Greece

 

Alas,there are so many things between heaven and earth of which only the poets have dreamed. And especially above the heavens … Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

Showing signs of life after my long absence from the wonderful WordPress Land as some kind Ladies and very special friends kept popping by to leave their comments on my ‘ARCHIVAL” Blog lol …

Have you ever had a cluttered and completely uncontrollable email inbox,after coming back from your holidays?That’s simply a rhetorical question to excuse my inexcusable absence.I think it’s time to reconsider my strategies and try to be more practical.Oftentimes,just a “Like”,or a very short comment can save the situation …

I usually want to read every single post extensively and enjoy all the details in the beautiful photos included,and leave verbose comments … Nevertheless,it’s absolutely impossible especially when I am holidaying … You know,Greece has a very long and hot summer and some lovely islands … And,our wondrous world has numerous places to visit and experience the “different” from every historical or cultural angle.

Here come some summer sunlit images for you to see who carried me away …

” Waves in the Light revive the Eyes …
Who carried away the blonde and sunburnt lady ?
The sea-breeze with its transparent breath … “

Myrtos’ Sapphire Blue

The Zephyr of Summer in Kefalonia

Descend to encounter the Infinite Sapphire Blue of the Ionian Sea,feel the touches of Zephyr,hear the whispers of the gentle breeze …

Let me show you  Amphitheatric Argostoli …

Amphitheatric Argostoli …

Argostoli in Kefalonia (Cephalonia),the largest of the Ionian Islands.

Amphitheatrically built with a view to Koutavos Lagoon and surrounded by mountains and forests with lush green vegetation.

Rich in history and culture,probably best known as the location of “Captain Correlli’s Mandolin” film which depicts the Island’s WWII history.Few though notice Byron Street in the city of Argostoli,they are mostly fascinated by the blue lagoon,the wetland with its rich flora and fauna.

The Great Philhellene poet Lord Byron stayed in Kefalonia for four months before joining the Greek Garrison in Mesolongi,where he died in April 1824,fighting in the Greek War of Independence.
He wrote some of his most famous poems sitting on a rock known as “The Rock of Byron”.It is situated near Kallithea,an impressive observation post facing Zakynthos (Zante).
There is an inscribed marble plaque on the rock with his words :

 

“The poet that I am, I owe to the air of Greece”. Lord Byron

Greece Remembers …

 

Here come some sponges & sea shells I collected in Crete & Kefalonia for you my WordPress friends …

Sponges & Seashells

Simple Things yield Great Pleasures … don’t they ?

 

Crete is also a beautiful island in the Aegean Sea,many the photos I could share,but little my spare time … Besides,it’s an “urgent stop over” …

I’m not a Greek in here,I’m a Cretan …

I’m not a Greek ~ I’m a Cretan …

Winds of Crete & The Clear Blue of the Aegean

“God changes his appearance every second. Blessed is the man who can recognize him in all his disguises.”

Pure bright Colours from my Land for you my friends ♥ The setting sun added more colours to my palette …

 

Sunrays dancing on Crystal clear Waters

Sunrays dancing on Crystal clear Waters

Frolicsome beams flirting with Emerald green and Golden shades

The whole world’s soul contracted into my eyes,I collected the colours to give them back to the sky …

That’s how I learn the tongue of the poets,the tongue of the painters …

 

And, dazzling the sunsets from Myrtos Beach,as intense as the sunsets in my beloved Santorini,I’ll show you some other time;here is a solar parallax to see what I mean,to write the epilogue of my “urgent stop over” …

Solar Parallax …

Celestial Elusiveness of Heliocentric systems

Chasing Elusive Phases & Faces from the beach of Myrtos,
bountenous its Blinding Light,Hot its Melting Rays on the palm …

The Ball of Fire had a Huge Golden Halo Sacred to the Sky …
