Summer Leftovers

Today is the first cloudy day of the Fall in Athens. I know it won't last long as the sun shines almost every day of the year in this city but it does make me miss the careless days of summer near the sea and the beautiful sunsets. 
Summer may be officially over but we are definitely not over it.

Black and White Summer

Summer can be seen from a completely different -more melancholic- perspective through black and white photographs. And as it is over now, looking back, we do get a bit melancholic about it.

The photos were taken in Petra and Molyvos, in the island of Lesvos.

When The Sun Goes Down

 In the beginnings of August I spent a week in the island of Lesvos, where my dad's family is from. I got to spend some quality time with my cousins, enjoy the amazing sea and good food and relax a bit. I also discovered that my younger cousins share my passion for photography so we had a lot of fun shooting at the beach.
 The water in this particular beach is always incredibly cold and, even if during the day it's a relief from the heat, as the sun goes down it feels something more like the Arctic Ocean. Anyway, the colors of the sunset and the sound of the sea in this moment of the day are dreamy and I feel like I really want to go back there as I'm watching these photos.
