Today, because of the trip to Akamas, I had a number of photo opportunities. I have selected three pictures to represent today’s entry in the POTD project. Easy. I wonder what I will do when the tourist season will be over. :)
Category: Photography
I love photography. For me, it’s like painting, but better. And more accurate. And unlike painting, I can actually participate. I am not a big success or great master by any means. But I enjoy taking pictures. I also enjoy looking at other people work and sometimes sharing it. When I do, this is the category that I use.
Yet another trip to Akamas
Yet another trip to Akamas we had today with Olga, Hazard, Lev, my brother, and Olga’s two cousins. Traditional visit to Viklari tavern for some pork and red wine, and then some beaching nearby. Since we went a little bit later than usual, we didn’t go to Lara Bay. That saved us about 15 minutes of road trip each way, and added some experience with waves. We also scared away a couple of nudists.
I have made a few pictures. The album is here.
Picture of the day
Everything for today’s POTD submission was shot from my balcony. There isn’t much, but just enough for me to have a camera in my handds for mere 5 minutes and think once again about all sorts of opportunities, mess with the settings, and not lose any sleep over a hole in the project. Good enough I say.
Picture of the day
Since I had a long tour over historic places today, having something for the ‘Picture of the day’ project was no problem. I made more than a 100 images today, so there is plenty of choice. Not to overkill your interest, I’ve selected three pictures for today’s POTD entry. Check them out here.
Petra tou Romiou and Kurium

Today I had a lot of driving around historical places. Olga’s two cousines (Tatiana Babenko and Natalia Babenko) came to Cyprus for a few days, so we are back to the guided tour schedule.
So, firstly we went ot Petra tou Romiou, which is also known as Aphrodite’s birthplace. It is a very photogenic place and the only thing which gets in the way is a crowd of tourists. But than again, if it wasn’t for them I wouldn’t go there today. Secondly, we went to Kurium. We started by walking around the ruins of the theatre and everything else. Then we went down to the Kurium beach. It was too late for me and Olga to swim, but girls jumped into cold water none-the-less. Tour finished with some traditional kebab (Olga and I didn’t have it for years now…) and ice cream in Limassol.
I have made a bunch of pictures along the way. All of them are available here.
