Instagram, WhatsApp, Blog

 These winter photos have been posted on my other social media pages .

So here's the blog version.


An empty square for a coffee in the winter sun. 


Still and empty harbour under a cloudy sky


Fishing boats tied up
Piles of nets bundled up safely till spring



Green mossy steps. They'll be whitewashed for Easter 




Ancient pieces of marble outside the museum


Trees full of bitter oranges
They decorate streets and pavements all over Poros



Neorion Bay
No longer full of sunbeds and noisy visitors

      The island seems empty although there are still crowds at the evening festivities. It's mostly wonderfully peaceful

    Do people preserve the bitter oranges in syrup? A taste of my childhood in Cyprus

      There are still quite a few who preserve those oranges. They're a wonderful spoon sweet. We have a tree in our back yard. I usually make marmelade

    I agree with JayCee. Hope 2023 is a good one for you and your family and friends on Poros.

      Thanks Dave and JC. I hope it's a quiet year, for me, but a bit of action for K . He needs controversy and lots of discussion and debate about it

    Empty places make me sad.

      The winter sun can be quite strong. I wonder how long it will continue like this.
      Hope you had a wonderful New Years too

      My photography would be better if I chose the best time of day. The sun always seems to be in the wrong place . But I take the photo anyway
