Ein Fischer sitzt barfuss auf einem einfachen Holzstuhl und flickt sein rotes Netz, das vor ihm aufgetürmt liegt. Es ist auch ein Teil seines einfachen Bootes zu sehen. Ich hab ihn damals gefragt ob ich die Szenerie knipsen darf.

내 사진이 뭐냐, 생각해보면 99%는 걷다가 찍은 사진이다. 나는 여행이든 산책이든 걷는 중에 사진을 찍는다. 산책도 작은 여행이라 하면 대부분이 도보 여행 사진인 셈이다. 찍기 위해서 걷고, 걷기 위해서 찍는다. 그게 즐겁다.

이번에 살짝 무릎에 부상을 입었었다. 이제는 마음껏 걷지 못할지도 모른다고 생각하니, 너무나도 무서웠다. 부디 오래도록 하루 내내 걸을 수 있는 몸상태를 유지하기를.

Taking advantage of the eerily quiet august-time-athens by running on peaceful roads, shopping in the quiet town center, exploring fruity burbs, and getting a seat outside the AEK stadium.

The Greek government plans to develop a home-grown industry that will mass produce drone and anti-drone systems — part of a €30 billion program aimed at modernizing the country's armed forces by 2036. japantimes.co.jp/business/2025

Ten years ago, Greece's Lesbos became the first stop for half of the million asylum-seekers headed for Europe. Today, the island shows how far government responses have hardened against people seeking refuge in Europe. japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/08/

As the cost of spraying crops with pesticides becomes increasingly expensive, farmers in Greece have turned to a cheaper alternative: liquids in unlabeled bottles that contain products banned in the European Union. japantimes.co.jp/environment/2

A European paper wasp (Polistes dominula), spotted building its nest on the door of our house on Evia island, , in late April.

Though these wasps look a lot like your average , they're very peaceful even if you come close to their nest. They're also not interested in your strawberry cake or any other human food, but feed on insects and spiders.

A Reading from Homer (1885) by Lawrence Alma-Tadema (1836-1912). Through attention to details such as architecture and dress, Alma-Tadema evokes scenes of everyday life in ancient Greece and Rome. However, his pictures are rarely entirely archaeologically accurate. For example, while he accurately rendered the ancient musical instrument on the left, a cithara, he also included a type of rose that did not exist before the 19th century.

Here, a young poet crowned with a laurel wreath reads from Homer to an audience dressed for a festival. The setting is probably Greece toward the end of the seventh century BCE. The Greek letters in the upper right indicate that the place is dedicated to the poet.
