19 Mar 2005 "Old woman in Plaka"

Greece

She saw us walking in the uphill road out of her humble house
and she offered us a glass of cold water.
We told her that we were there to take pictures of Athens
and like an open book she showed us every important place
accompanied by many stories she had seen all these years from up there.

Nice to find this gem visiting your PDA today.

It's wonderful that there are still some people around who would take the time for such. It's such a rushed world we live in today. Going back through again, fantastic gallery!

Dominic Kite		23-Mar-2005 17:51
I don't know what's more poetic, the photo or the story. Both are fantastic.

Wonderful -- I like the story accompanying the portrait, too.

Wonderful capture to go with the story. Another perfect B&W image. Nancy

don nieman		20-Mar-2005 02:06
Now this I like. I like the detail of the face, the perspective, the light of the sky and the delicate leaves of the trees. She looks very comfortable in her surroundings.

Gilles Navet		19-Mar-2005 23:47
Allways on top Antonis Stu and you are the B&W reference on the PaD Bravo Gilles

It's nice to know that sort of interaction can still occur. Sadly not everyone in the world are as honest & friendly these days. A beautiful image, Antonis.
