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 […]

Snowy Zongolopoulos’ umbrellas

It isn’t a common fact to snow in my hometown Thessaloniki, Greece. Today there was a “heavy” snowfall so I got my camera and went out to take some photos! Here you can see Zongolopoulos’ umbrellas, a landmark of the city. And my umbrella to accompany them!

An unexpected burning sky

Sometimes the weather has unexpected surprises for us photographers. This afternoon the sky was full of clouds. I had my camera set up but I didn’t expect much. All of a sudden a little opening appeared and the sky was painted red! It lasted only for a few minutes and although some dogs playing in the […]

Sit Next to Me

This photo was taken last February while I was biking at Thessaloniki next to the sea. The sunset was magnificent but I didn’t have my DSLR with me. Nexus 5 came to the rescue to catch those silhouettes and sunset colors! This photo was featured in 33 Stunning Photos Shot On Mobile Phones on 500px!

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.

This is a small village named Agia Paraskevi locat This is a small village named Agia Paraskevi located at Chalkidiki. 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.
