I chose the latter

The light was brilliant, the old town as scenic as ever and the shadow of the dog posing perfectly on the mowed lawn. I blamed myself for not taking a camera with me. As if I didn't know. Walking at the old part of Nafplio is always a good excuse for photography and no matter how many times I take the same routes, there is always something new to shoot!

I had only two options though. Try to hold the image in my mind and forget about the camera I didn't have with me or take the shot with my phone and accept the limitations of its tiny sensor.

I chose the latter :)

Walking with an overactive dog doesn't give you much time for stalling. Before I knew it we were on top of the town, crossing the fortification walls which were overgrown by wild flowers. The power of spring covers everything, even rocks!

I convinced my excited four-legged companion to stop for a few seconds so that I can take some pictures of the view and headed, with no further delay, to the meadow that we found the other day inside the walls. His favourite spot since I usually let him off leash there and he can run like a frantic demon while I take pictures of the spring flowers :)

The sea looked lovely, for one more time and I reminded myself how refreshing it is to add into my daily routine a swim. The temperature is not an excuse any more (if it ever was) but we are trying to finish a project with @traisto that took us way more than anticipated and is now at the final stage, absorbing all our time and energy.

I will tell you all about it when it's done but not just yet :)

That's all for today, just a small slice of the Greek spring and back to work :)

Have a lovely Wednesday or, in some other parts of the world, Thursday!

Even I would be happy in that meadow 🤣. No matter the camera, what matters is the eye that looks and captures, the framing, the colors, the beauty of that place. As always...excellent photos.

Good luck in the project with Traisto. Best regards.

The photos are sharp enough that it makes me feel like I was there standing watching the beautiful field of flowers and a serene sea! Your hometown is such a paradise on earth. 😊

Beautiful pictures!
I’ve been busking in Nafplio two years ago, not in spring but in winter, and I found it one of the prettiest towns I’ve ever seen. I remember at night they illuminate the old castle on the hill, so that it looks like an alien spaceship hovering in the air 😄

Haha, I have never thought of the castle as a spaceship but you are right, it does look a bit like one :)

Thanks!

Another gorgeous set of images. Love this combination of intense blossom and roofs of this dream-like Greek city.

Αφού μπορείς και κρατιέσαι για να μην μπεις σε τέτοια θάλασσα, μπράβο σου 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 😕🤭🤭. Πολύ μαγευτικό μέρος και η άνοιξη το κάνει ακόμα πιο όμορφο με όλα αυτά τα λουλούδια 🌻🌷🌺🌼.
Όσο για τις φωτογραφίες, αυτές τις διαφορές άμα είναι με κινητό ή με φωτογραφική μηχανή μόνο ένας φωτογράφος το αντιλαμβάνεται, τέλειες είναι 👌🏻, εγώ δεν βλέπω διαφορά χαχαχα,

Ναι το ξέρω ότι για τους περισσότερους ανθρώπους δεν έχει μεγάλη διαφορά αλλά εγώ βλέπω τα λάθη και υποφέρω. Σχεδόν μετάνιωσα που τις ανέβασα. Επαγγελματική διαστροφή το λέμε αυτό :)
