Breakfast, the Boatyard, and a Concert

A FULL DAY

Elena shooting Mia with her phone

Showing Maria the image.

Antonis and Elena talking

 Arianna and Antonis, "Go ahead and eat."

At the boatyard

Nossbye  "On The Hard"

(you can see Antonis head just coming out the of the cabin.)

Getting on the boat is an experience

"Stop taking pictures"

The replaced bearing shaft that was leaking. Caused by a broken motor mount.

But accidentally hitting a rock with the bow, and doing hull repairs at sea, during a three day return to their home island was an experience I do not envy.

I left the boatyard-pier area to photograph and return home

An Igoumensita ferry clearing the Old Fort.

The St George Chapel at the Old Fort. This is where the evening concert will be held.

I go past the Governors Palace on the way home.

Photography at the Palace.

TIME FOR A MAP

 

Look for the "Magenta Dots"

Lower right, where the boat is being repaired, inside the pier.

Far right/center, entrance to the Old Fort (You are HERE)

Upper right, Governors Palace.

Top right on the outer drive is the entrance to Apolodorous, their street.

To its left is the dot where their house actually sits on Apolodorou street.

Dot on lower left side is where the University is, off the map.

Aopolodorou street. Their home entrance door step is on the left, in the sunlight.

Their front door.

My favorite view

Leaving their street and turning right to go to the Old Fort for the concert.
A beautiful time of day. You are looking at the back of the Governors Palace.

On the bridge over the moat leading into the Old Fort.

St Georges Chapel at dusk. No seats left inside.

The concert. They played slowly (it seemed)

Leaving the fort after the concert. The gallery building where our show will hang is on the left.

The New Port and getting ready for the Show

Antonis had two boats to show me at the new port, while he was on his way to get more parts for his boat repairs. Also we went to the "paper" store in order to ask about getting paper to cover the orange walls of the gallery. For me, the orange color will clash with my images since I will have no frames. I will be putting up images with double sided tape or stickum.

SO

Just outside the door was a neighborhood cat that the family feeds. You get the picture.

We saw a world class sailing ketch, with the skipper resting in the shade. Antonis thought she was from Sweden.

 This boat came in from Holland last year and then suddenly sunk. It has been abandoned.

 You can not see her massive yellow bowsprit going off to the left.

Lying next to her is an abandoned work (fishing) boat. It sank suddenly and has been left to rot.

You can see tour and large work boats in the background. To the left are individual fishing boats that have three spools for bringing in their nets.

You can see that pleasure sailors mix in with the working craft.

He is mending nets. I laughed at his old soda drink cooler used for storage of the catch.

Antonis shopping for his boat parts.

Notice, no matter where you go in the world, there is WD40.

Will this part work?

On the way to the paper shop, near school, we passed the new fort. I will be going there soon.

440 years old. Look at its condition.

We passed a display for a rotisserie. A WOODEN lamb carving on the spit.

Looking at the New Fort

Kerkyra is the only walled city in Greece.

The church tower and wall have been kept from WWII

All else is new. The Germans, Italians, and Americans bombed the city.

I am thinking of doing a series on the window displays.

I made an image like this, in B.W, 55 years ago in Grad School.

Now days I do this.

Fish Spa

And seeing is believing. The pigeons are everywhere, even INSIDE  the Super Market

A walk to school. Enjoying the streets

I had to meet Thomas, one of Antonis best students at school.

So I did some snaps on the way.

I wanted to buy some postcards. When I went into the shop this was what the counter looked like. The owner wanted to sell me a piece but I told her I would be happy with my picture.

The owner of a shoe store is painting his lights.

The owner of a restaurant is trying to bring customers in.

Window displays are enjoyable.

Selling ties and cuff links.

Dense shopping

Made in China

Some images happen

Maria says the stones are from Majorca and are 600 years old.

Coffe, CocaCola, Child

At the Universities student cafe

Something I have never seen before, a right hand coffee cup

 

After an intense two hour talk with Thomas I headed home

 Yellow Submarine?

Red Cross officials being interviewed for a TV Spot

And finally, a Greek version of Tom Sawyer's fence
