Three Days in a Row

It has been dynamic


Today started with a cat in the tree outside the third floor window

The cat got down

Yesterday

Began with a photo show exhibit and a plesant walk
A colleague of Antois's in another department has gained national recognition as a photographer. She concentrates on reflections. The second image from the left is below
Her imagery seems pleasant and accesabile

Like soft Jazz



The exhibit was in the Art Gallery of the Governor's palace. I include a website image to clarify
The Governor's Palace, now a museum, was the former British reisdence in the 1800s.
(Center at bottom of image - Art Gallery and garden off left wing of palace)
The Old Fort and moat is off the left edge of the image.
Antoni's boat is moored at  the jetty 1/3 down on left edge.
From the jetty to the door of the palace is the largest Esplanade in Europe. It was used as a military prade ground.
The entrance to Antonis's and Maria's home is just off the very bottom right corner.
(I made an image of that from the palace courtyard.)

Looking down from the garden you can see Sunday swimmers.
The upper left corner leads to the bottom below....
A view of the restaurant. 
(more later)

Walking back through the grounds I saw a very interesting sculpture.
Carved out of marble it seemed to portay an old city scape.

I seem to luck out when I sit down to take a breather.




They looked and acted like professional models

We got permission to make an image from the Palace Courtyard
These buldings face the sea. The right one, three windows wide is on a sharp corner.
Between it and the center building is the narrow street entrance to Antoni's and Mari's home.
The center building is the Language and Translation Center for Ionian University.
The left building is privately owned. From the little white baclcony I watched the Greek Orthodox Easter Parade a few years ago.

looking down the narrow street I speak of to the restaurant I showed before.
You can see the mainland in the distance.

I close for now with an image of the new kitchen counters and Maria letting her bread rise.

Back to lecture prep...
The top of Pelekas coming soon

Five Days Ago I am catching up with the blog by sharing a wonderful day "out" with serious sightseeing. But before we go..... . Waking up in the morning this is the imge I see, the sunlight coming thru the antique curtain -------- We drove to Pelekas on the opposite side of the island. On the way we passed through woods and a personal "rest stop" Trees are painted white to protect them from insect damage. But the furniture and painted rocks makes for a white scene Corfu and the Greek Mainland to the right The right red dot is Corfu city and left dot is Pelekas The red dot is 2100 feet high The town is on the side of a steep mountain that faces west towards Italy. Antonis and Maria walk into the tourist area on top ot the mountain The steps to the viewing platform A couple is looking towards Corfu, and I think she is saying, "Can you see the big ship?" The bright ship seems as big as the Old Fort on...

Out and About Comments have been made about the weather. It is not always sunny. Sometimes it even rains. So what is it like to shoot on a flat day? The Governor's Palace arcade without sunny dress shadows So I stroll and shoot Deciding on the meal order The shopping displays are DENSE An owner watching the customers browse On the street, among the shops, a shrine An older street My model is wearing new Jewelry Her sister has intriguing eyes The owner's eyes seem so similar A simple restaurant With the umbrella and the waiter standing straight I think the bird is waiting for the food to slide off the table A portrait of a bird The bird walked up the street and now is being stalked by a cat The cat is in hot pursuit ---------- This is where I was going to sign off and say "To be Continued" But I never got it posted So... Yesterday I went shopping for some pants ...
