This post is part of the so-called “Greek Series”, consisting of photographs I shot while backpacking Greece in September 2013. You’ll find a basic introduction to the series here and the last post featuring Mykonos and Delos can be accessed here.
In this one I recall our journey around the Gulf of Corinth, visiting small villages and larger cities. But mostly, it is all about the beauty of nature and the all-present sea.
Some impressions from the Winterly Alps in February 2014.
It was a busy month, so I had little time for photography. But two or three times, I could take a camera with me and make some shots of (more or less) winterly Vienna.
A friend of mine shot her first short (Chrissi, aka “Spielberg” Wallmüller, as I call her from now on). It’s a thrilling murder story set in Vienna with an interesting plot. I really enjoyed it. If you have a couple of minutes to spare, check it out! 🙂

Mykonos is part of the Cyclad Islands. Today, it is a populous island, living primarily on tourism. It is well known for its beaches and nightlife. In ancient times, though, Delos’s much smaller sister island was much more critical than Mykonos. It was a sacral island and a place of worship mainly for the gods Apollon and Artemis. After its decline, Delos was primarily forgotten and rediscovered only in modern times by archeologists from France. Today, it is a museum and can be visited easily from Mykonos by ferry. Pictures 2, 3, 4, and 5 (the well-known lion statues) and 6 are from Delos, while the others are shot on Mykonos.

Without any doubt, Greece is a colourful country, and I myself am very fond of powerful colors in photographs. But interestingly sometimes the absence of color brings focus and a certain sharpness to pictures.
