It is a Venetian lighthouse originally built in the 16th century & later modified by the Egyptians in 1839. Unfortunately when we visited Chania entrance to the tower wasn’t allowed. However there is a long mole […]

Gatklettur rock arch in Iceland

Iceland is full of huge rock formations. This one is Gatklettur, aka the “Hellnar Arch”. A famous, naturally formed circular stone arch found between the villages of Arnarstapi and Hellnar on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. In the past you could even get down to the soar. It is forbidden now, probably it was dangerous because of […]

An iceberg at Diamond Beach in Iceland

Diamond beach in Iceland owns its name to the chunks of icebergs floating ashore which look exactly like diamonds on the black sand beach. Breiðamerkursandur is the icelandic name, but I think diamond beach is much easier to pronounce! An amazing place to visit. Combine it with a beautiful sunrise and it becomes magical! At […]

Star trails over Vourvourou

Sithonia is becoming my favourite summer destination in Chalkidiki, Greece. Find an amazing view, leave your camera shooting and relax watching the stars in the night sky. And in the next morning choose one of the many amazing beaches to go for a swim! For this photo I shot around 100 images and combined them […]

A colourful sunset in Thessaloniki

This shot was taken in Kalamaria, Thessaloniki, next to Saint Nicholas church (which obviously you can’t see in the photo). I was trying to find something interesting to shoot when I saw those rocks covered in green moss. Luckily the sunset was on my side and it gave me a colourful sky. After so many […]

The mark of time

This place is one of my favorites close to my home village. I really like how the waves have sculptured the base of this rock and how it stands alone in the middle. There is a Greek fish restaurant overlooking at this place called Villa Stasa. It’s food is great and the view is awesome. […]

Blooming lavender fields create a wonderful visual Blooming lavender fields create a wonderful visual experience when they are at their peak. Thus Provence in France has been in my bucket photography list for quite some time now. Last year, when I learned that there were some lavender fields very close to where I live I couldn’t miss the opportunity. Along with @vlachos_giorgos, a friend and fellow photographer, we explored the area of Mesimeri, close to the city of Thessaloniki, trying to find a nice field with purple lavender flowers. This field with a lonely tree seemed perfect. At the background you can also distinguish Olympus mountain. The weather was at our side and the sunset filled the sky with beautiful purple and pink tones!

This waterfall could easily be a tourist attractio This waterfall could easily be a tourist attraction in many countries all over the world. In Iceland it is just another waterfall you see while driving. We were lucky there was a place to park our car relatively close so we inevitably stopped to get a quick photo. Besides the light was wonderful, we had no other option! We couldn’t get closer though since it was on private property!

Oxararfoss is the first waterfall usually a visito Oxararfoss is the first waterfall usually a visitor sees when driving the Golden Circle. Although it is a relatively small waterfall with a height of around 20 meters it is a nice stop before heading over to the much more epic Gullfoss. It is located in Pingvellir National Park and you get there after a short hike. An impressive fact is that it is a human made waterfall created in the 9th century! Another interesting fact is that Almannagjá gorge, which you walk through to get to the waterfall, marks the eastern boundary of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates!

Vestrahorn mountain in the Stokksnes Peninsula of Vestrahorn mountain in the Stokksnes Peninsula of Iceland is such a beautiful and epic location. We visited this place twice despite having to pay an entrance fee since it is a private location! We were paid back by an amazing sunset, which you can see here, and an amazing sunrise which you can see in a previous post of mine.

I was going back home from shooting the milky way at another location when I thought to stop here and give a try at this shot I had in my mind for a long time now. It came out pretty decent but I think I’ll have to come back again when the milky way is at a better position.
