<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="orphans: 2; text-align: justify; widows: 2;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The waters were glimpsing and reflecting the sunlight. It could blind your eyes, it could make you dizzy. We were standing on some small rock hills. Checking the waters, our cameras, the films we were carrying. The rocky shore had a gray, magnetic color, shimmering through the hot sun above us. It couldn't be more than 22 degrees, but the sudden appearance of spring made us all stifling in our winter clothes. </span></span><br />
<span style="orphans: 2; text-align: justify; widows: 2;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="orphans: 2; text-align: justify; widows: 2;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The walk we did to get to the "Shiny Coast", as Jane was calling it proudly, was long and breathtaking. Lines of green and yellow mountains ahead of us. Rocky hills jutted out of the landscape like ant holes in the ground on warm days. They were calling the travelers it seemed. Calling in an unfamiliar, peculiar way. Like silent sirens in the dark, hollow forms of a strange power. This power was what dragged us here in the first place. We have read on a not-so-famous travel blog about the walkabouts of young travelers in these areas and we immediately started organizing it. Weeks passed till our trip could become a reality. Excitement was feeding our hearts. And one Monday we started, just the three of us. </span></span><br />
<span style="orphans: 2; text-align: justify; widows: 2;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="orphans: 2; text-align: justify; widows: 2;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The town we needed to reach was 6 miles away from this gorgeous destination called "Shiny Bay". And now we were there wandering around with our analogue cameras, without any mobile phones, just ourselves. We arrived at noon and after we had discovered the whole area, we decided to stay overnight, building our tents a little farther. We had our little camp ready when we tried to gather some wood for later to light up a fire. Food was already solved with canned beans and some pork, along with the sandwiches that managed to survive the route. </span></span><br />
<span style="orphans: 2; text-align: justify; widows: 2;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="orphans: 2; text-align: justify; widows: 2;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We were overwhelmed by the beauty of this place, all of us. Jane had a small Pinhole camera, made by an old Olympus, Mike used his old Nikon and I was trying to find a decent way to get good Polaroid pictures along with an old Leica. All of us with a different mission in our heads. All of us drifting away in problems that now looked like lost morning dreams. Boarding on a future only a camera could imprison. Living a present through travel intensity and nature enticements. Experience life in its greatest extent. </span></span><br />
<span style="orphans: 2; text-align: justify; widows: 2;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="orphans: 2; text-align: justify; widows: 2;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We all had left something behind, we all pretended that this trip would change us for the better. The only thing we kept ignoring was that we could not just escape reality so easily. In the glimpse of the moment yes we could and we would. While we all got aroused by the warmth and the atmospheric mist in the shore, we started craving for a swim. Maybe in a way of cleansing our own past, forgetting our own selves and diving into a new form of reality. That of stillness. The mark of an era that was just beginning. We lured ourselves in the fresh water, wearing nothing but our underwear, swimming into life itself. It was real and intense. It was a moment frozen in time, a moment we will all share and cherish forever. Being Alive. </span></span>

<br />
</div>
<div lang="el-GR" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Η κοπέλα που
κάθεται απέναντί μου είναι μελαγχολική.
Είναι 15 χρονών, ψηλή και κοιτά στο κενό.
Πιάνει τα μακριά ξανθά μαλλιά της και
τα φέρνει στο στόμα της. Τίποτε πιο
αφαιρετικό και μελαγχολικό από μία απλή
και άχαρη κίνηση. Η ίδια όμως τη
μεταμορφώνει σε ιεροτελεστία. Αυτή
είναι η γοητεία που ασκούν τα νιάτα.
</div>
<div lang="el-GR" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div lang="el-GR" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Τα μπλε της μάτια
φαίνονται άδεια. Σα να βαριέται και όμως
κάτι την απασχολεί. Κοιτάει στο κενό.
Μα τι να είναι αυτό που τη βασανίζει; Το
αιώνιο βάρος της νεότητας; Της ομορφιάς
της; Ούτε και η ίδια πρέπει να γνωρίζει.
Για εμάς που ξεχωρίζουμε την ομορφιά
μέσα από πλήθος άμορφων ωραίων όλα αυτά
ξέρουμε πως είναι μέρος της. Και πως
όσοι γνωρίζουν πως είναι όμορφοι - στ'
αλήθεια - υποφέρουν.
</div>
<div lang="el-GR" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div lang="el-GR" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Δε με βλέπει που
την παρατηρώ και κρατώ σημειώσεις. Δεν
αντιλαμβάνεται την επίδραση που έχει
μέσα μου. Μία αναστάτωση και μία έξαψη
με καταβάλλουν. Είναι της κούρασης του
ταξιδιού οι Ερινύες. Και της τεράστιας
αποχής μου από τα τετράδια και τις
λέξεις. Η μορφή της κοπέλας ξαφνικά μου
τα επανέφερε όλα αυτά. Και γράφω
απορροφημένη. Ίσως και εμένα κάποιος
που δεν βλέπω να με παρατηρεί και να με
εξετάζει. Ίσως να βλέπει αυτή την περίεργη
συναλλαγή συναισθημάτων. Και μέσα στο
χρόνο να αποτυπωθεί σαν όνειρο.
</div>
<div lang="el-GR" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div lang="el-GR" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Αρχίζω να
σιγουρεύομαι ότι η μικρή έχει συναίσθηση
της ομορφιάς της. Αγγίζει τα μαλλιά της
συχνότερα από όσο θα επέτρεπε ο χρόνος
της αφηρημάδας. Χαμογελάει και κοκκινίζει.
Παρατηρώ τον περίγυρό της και βλέπω πως
η ξανθιά κυρία δίπλα της θα πρέπει να
είναι η μητέρα της. Κηδεμόνας και
προστάτης, ειδικά τώρα που αγγίζει τα
όρια του συμβόλου στα μάτια μου. Άτομα
σαν εμένα δεν είναι εμπιστοσύνης. Θα
αρπάξω την ομορφιά, θα τη μεταμορφώσω
σε λέξεις και θα την σκοτώσω. Η θλιβερή
ομορφιά της μου αποκαλύπτεται και εγώ
την αρπάζω.
</div>
<div lang="el-GR" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div lang="el-GR" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Η αδρή καλοκαιρινή
αίσθηση κάνει την εμφάνισή της στους
γύρω μου. Είναι αργά το απόγευμα και το
φαγητό αργεί να έρθει. Ο καλοκαιρινός
αέρας καταλαγιάζει και προκαλεί μία
γλυκιά εξάντληση. Το αλκοόλ βοηθάει.
Χαμηλώνουν τα μάτια, γεμίζουν τα ποτήρια
και εγώ συνεχίζω να κοιτώ προς το μέρος
της. Τόσο όμορφη που φαντάζει στα μάτια
μου σαν σκιά που συνεχώς απομακρύνεται.
Το όμορφο είναι και άπιαστο. Είναι όντως
τόσο αποκομμένη η ομορφιά; Μα πως να
νιώθει άραγε σκεπτόμενη τον εαυτό της;
</div>
<div lang="el-GR" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div lang="el-GR" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Δε θα βρω ποτέ
απαντήσεις σε τούτα τα ερωτήματα. Ίσως
κάποια άλλη μέρα. Τις σκέψεις μου
διακόπτουν οι διπλανοί μου που πρόσεξαν
ότι αφαιρέθηκα. Μάλλον φταίει που έφτασε
το φαγητό και πεινάω. Μετά από ώρα την
έχασα και συνέχισα να πίνω.

<i>Some
moments are precious and can't be described clearly through words.
But pictures say a lot and describe even more. This year was full of
travels and new different places. Family and friends surrounded those
great moments of pure happiness and freedom. Traveling, for people
like me, is the essence of life. And taking photos is a natural way
to remember all those places. Either they are abstract, landscape,
urban or portraits, taken with DSLRs, analog cameras or mobile
telephones, those pictures never stop carrying important instants in
time. </i>

<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<i>This time
it was Hamburg, a big industrial beautiful city, with amazing life
and diversity. A family wedding was the reason for our visit, where
we had a blast. A protestant, German/Dutch wedding was the top of our
trip with the after party being one of the greatest experiences I
ever had. The dinner party was held in the last floor of one of the
biggest skyscrapers in town, where we could have a full 180degrees
view of whole Hamburg. With a unique buffet of meat, fish, roasted
vegetables and loads of salads, side dishes, bread and many many
drinks such as champagne, cold cocktails, wine constantly refilling
and so much more, we were all super excited. </i>

<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<i>The warm
feeling of purity accompanied our whole night with great music,
dancing to it till the early morning. The days before we would walk
around the center and enjoy the busy life of Hamburg, heading down to
the shipyard and following the path towards the other side of town,
where forests meat with urbanism. Heat would be constant and
unbearable, but in times like this, you just ignore the negative and
fully enjoy the positive. And if I think of it now, everything was
positive. Every single bit of it. The walks, the cold ice-teas in our
walking breaks, the food in restaurants, the wedding, the scenery,
the nature, the city, the buildings, the bread, the sausages, the
beer, the wine, the view, the stores, the party, the family, <b>all.</b>

<i>My eyes hurt. I cannot see beyond those weird lights. They flicker through me,
myself and everything that surrounds me. I see them in blur, I see
them away. I see them torn apart and I see them scary. Scaring me?
Abandoning me. Lost lights in time rediscovered alone. And me
struggling for a breath.

<i>I wake up.
Thankfully it was a dream, one that will be forgotten with the first
lights of the morning. Some coffee and my mind will stop drifting.
There, it is gone. But wait a minute. It is not dawn yet and I can't
see beyond my nose. I feel like fainting again or perhaps I am not
dreaming at all. Illuminating moments are rare and this is one of
them. The lights are back and I am wandering into my own
consciousness. This can't be.

prove something to the visitors. To me it sounds as breathless sounds

we park our car, we head towards the famous beach in Varosha
(</span><span lang="el-GR">Βαρώσια). </span><span lang="en-US">My
first steps echo strangely in the atmosphere. The air is suddenly
heavier here. I notice the plastic fences cover many parts of the area we
walk. I stumble. I look at the red sign and then I stop. Not so
further beyond the artificial barricades and meters of black plastic
fences, tens of ruined buildings stand silently in front of me. The
corner of one of them is completely destroyed. It is the closest to
where I stand and it looks strange, stopped in time. I ask and
quickly learn it is bombed. It looks to me like an elevator shaft.
The elevator itself is scattered on the ground floor in pieces. Wild
nature blooms around it. This building stands here in this exact same
condition for 40 whole years. Untouched and barricaded. </span>

We take the
small path and we enter the golden sandy beach. I think they call it
Palm Beach. Some tourists sunbathe and some others swim inside a
peaceful sea. It is a cloudy day. I look behind the beach and then I
see it; lines of buildings, deserted from the war and again those
ugly black plastic fences around them. Photos are forbidden. But who
is checking either way? Except the tourists around me, nobody seems
to be there to reassure it. The ghosts of the past drift around here
sometimes at day, they do not care about photos. They care only about
what they lost. They are grieving for a lost home, a lost relative, a
lost store, a lost life. I don't see those ghosts here today. But I
do see something.

<span style="text-align: left;">Not even a
hundred meters by where we stand, to our right side, we discover more
barricades blocking our way through the endless beach side. The
rusty, dangerous nets scream silently “do not pass”. A guard
appears from the other side. He walks slowly out of his small
observatory, like a puma ready to attack. He comes to reassure no
pictures are taken beyond this point and I know why. What looks at
first glance as a coastline full of hotels and buildings, is actually
a </span><b style="text-align: left;">ghost town</b><span style="text-align: left;"> next to the sea. And it extends till the eye can
see. Further in the horizon. My heart stops. </span></div>

<span style="text-align: left;">A group of
Turkish students come close and start a conversation with the guard
in Turkish. They probably protest why they can't take pictures of
this disturbing view. He slowly moves his tail and comes to a proud
position. It is time for him to explain to these youngsters all those
things he has so eagerly rehearsed in his lair. He responds with a
long explanation that sounds like preaching. We can't stop wondering
what he is saying. I am doubting whether I should ask an English
translation. Those students probably know English. But I stop and
think; do I really want to know what he is saying?</span></div>

After what
seems like a thousand years, we decide not to swim there. How can we
either way? I've been told that since 2003, when the line opened,
hundreds of people who lost their properties, their families and
lives, come here often and swim in the waters and they feel good
about it. Because they can have at least that. A swim next to the old
stolen life.

We are
heading towards the car. Somehow we feel we need to witness more of
this. I know we will never come back here again during the course of
our lives, so the necessity to see more is evident. I can't stop
feeling this deep burden on my chest the whole afternoon. And the
weather is really not helping today. All those menacing clouds above
us. We ride around the barricaded city to see more of the protected
ruins. A destroyed orthodox church here, an old deserted bar there.
The sign of it still stands silent. The rest of it – probably the
owner's name – is painted with dark red color. Like the color of
blood.</div>

Next to the
fenced ghost city, I can't help but notice that life here keeps going
on. Why wouldn't it either way? It always does. Small houses, old and
new, are inhabited with people brought by the government in order to
occupy the city as proper as possible. Every morning they wake up and
they look at <b>this</b>.

A few blocks
down we see an old deserted church. This is in the village area, so
we can enter. There is no door. There is actually no roof. Only some
remains stand there, yellowed by time. <span style="text-align: left;">The pictures
on the walls seem scratched, like someone tried to erase history. </span><span style="text-align: left;">It seems to be a very very old
church. So old that its historical importance and need for
restoration shout out at our bewildered faces. And absolutely nothing
can be done.</span></div>

We take a
small alley and we reach the center. Some touristic shops, an old
catholic church turned into a mosque and tens of people sitting and
talking. Suddenly I feel observed. I feel the eyes of the people on
me. Strange feeling. I decide to ignore it. We take a small break and
we reach out to our car to head to the mountains. The city is too
much for us to bear.

After an
hour and a half of driving, we reach the castle we were planning to
visit, the Buffavento castle. We think we are alone here when we
realize there are more crazy people like us, who drove in the middle
of nowhere to reach an old forgotten castle. We look up and we see
it. It must be quite high, but to our ignorant eyes it looks like we
can easily reach it. It takes us 40 minutes of climbing endless stone
stairs in order to finally enjoy the view. It is breathless.

Walking down the graphic small streets next to the beautiful, colored from the noon sunlight, building, we found our way through the central point. The old town is magnetic, but the new is exciting.

<i>The Medieval castle stands alone in the middle of the central square, showing off its power and sheer dominance over the touristic frenzy. Shields and armor, history and wars. A few steps further and the new marina is on our feet. A small dock with benches gives the opportunity to drift away for a bit and relax, while enjoying the – what it seems – endless sunset in the horizon. </i><br />

<i>We are staring at the sea, but we wake up from our trance, having this urge, this feeling to discover more. So, a walk next to the sea, along the brand new marina, is ideal. The fresh stones on the ground reveal the urgency of the new, while the parks at the back smile with satisfaction that they can look freely at the sea. The construction barriers that stand along the path are small distractions. The picture is not made yet. Wood is planned to float next to the shore, in a desperate attempt to enjoy the sea as close as possible. Ah, we humans. Always building and destroying, always building and destroying. Even the darkened palm trees laugh at us from above. Can you really overcome Nature?</i><br />

hear the sunlights through my windows. They hit ferociously asking
for my attention. And when I do look at them they overwhelm me. Those
moments everything around me stops moving. The clocks disappear and
instead boxes with wheels stand silent on the walls. <b>Time is
obsolete.</b> And everything dries and everything dies. And then suddenly
everything altogether screams for attention I cannot give.</i><br />

<i>Είναι
το φως εκείνο της αυγής που όλα τα
αλλάζει.</i> Ξέρεις με τρομάζει αυτή η
συνειδητοποίηση του εαυτού. Είναι αυτό
όμως που μας διαχωρίζει από τον υπόλοιπο
κόσμο. Είναι αυτό που πολλές φορές
στρέφεται εναντίον μας. Αυτή η αργή και
βασανιστική συνειδητοποίηση του κόσμου
γύρω μας. Της ζωής μας, των λαθών μας,
των ανθρώπων που μας περιβάλλουν μα και
αυτών που λείπουν.

<i>Στο πρώτο
φως της ημέρας τίποτε δεν έχει χρώμα.</i>
Όλα περιμένουν το άγγιγμα του μυαλού
σου ώστε να χρωματιστούν, να πάρουν
νόημα. Μόνο μέσα από τα μάτια μας όλα
έχουν νόημα. Και αυτό είναι και το
μαρτύριο μας. Πως όλα γίνονται για κάποιο
λόγο, πως εμείς έχουμε κάποιο λόγο
ύπαρξης, πως η ζωή δεν είναι μάταιη. Και
θα ξοδέψεις μισή ζωή ψάχνοντας το νόημα

<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="el-GR" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<i>Τι από
όλα αυτά ισχύει;</i> Είναι οι ζωές μας κρίκοι
αλληλένδετοι σε έναν κόσμο χαοτικό που
νοιάζεται μονάχα για την εικόνα του;
Γινόμαστε και εμείς έρμαια αυτών που
σαπίζουν κάθε ηθική; Πού βρίσκεται ο
λόγος των πραγμάτων και των πράξεων;
Και τελικά ποιες είναι οι επιλογές μας;</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="el-GR" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="el-GR" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<i>Στο φως
της αυγής ο κόσμος σχηματίζεται.</i> Μαζί
του και οι σκέψεις της ημέρας. Χρώματα
μπερδεύονται με συναισθήματα και τα
λόγια οργιάζουν στις σιωπές. Τι από όλα
αυτά να κρατήσω και τι να αφήσω; Δεν
υπάρχει μονοπάτι στρωμένο, μονάχα
πέτρες. Και εγώ θα συνεχίζω να περπατώ
μαζί τους μήπως και κάποτε μπορέσω να
βρω τον δρόμο για τον καθαρό ορίζοντα.<br />

In a world where belonging
somewhere is harder than anything else, sometimes a few people and
places can make the difference. A few events, a few walks, a few
connections. The real ones. The ones you can touch and talk face to
face. The ones you can feel their emotions and grasp their moods. Not
the other ones. The particles of a media world that collapses before
my eyes. Not the ones who the only connection you share with them is
your keyboard. No. Not these ones.
</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The city where you grew up
has always a special part in your heart, even if you dislike it. It
will always be there for you with open arms to welcome you from every
travel, from every change. And you can always walk through it, in the
small and bigger streets, in the squares and parks, in the
neighborhoods you played till dark.

<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
But the cities you visited
and lived are another fairy tale. They entered your heart and stayed
there. They introduced you to a new world, a bigger world, a better
one. With their voices and sounds, smells and vibes, those cities
provoke strokes of happiness every time you revisit them, every time
you scroll into old photos. Even if they are closer or further than
you. Even if they are in the other side of the world.
</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
But there is always one
city where you decided to stay. To a permanent future that for your
free heart is hard to be possible. You want to travel, to live
relentlessly, to see, to admire, to feel. And there comes the moment
when everything makes sense to you. Where all of the places you have
visited make sense, only through this one city. The city you chose to
live. With the difficulties and the obstacles. With the demands and
the dreams. With the secrets and the schemes. All in one and all for
you.
</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
So there it is, the global
truth, <b>we cannot avoid what we decide</b>. But we can indeed
embrace it deep in our lives.

και η ζωή παρήγαγε κενά.</div>

Μα οι κρίκοι μας σιγά σιγά λιώνουν</div>

Οι επιλογές αναρριχώμενα φυτά χωρίς αιτία</div>

As time goes by I wonder,<br />
<div>
have we changed so much? </div>
<div>
Are we the ones who keep on moving?</div>
<div>
Or is it just the world's crazy speed that makes us grow apart from each other (from ourselves)?</div>
<div>

<div>
<br /></div>
Where is the answer, if there is any. </div>
<div>
How can we find ourselves? </div>
<div>
Wandering around familiar places?</div>
<div>
Seeing good old faces?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The old and the faded collide,</div>
<div>
in order to create the new and exciting. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We are all what we have seen - and more.</div>
<div>
The people that we know,</div>
<div>
the streets that we have walked,</div>
<div>
the familiar sounds in our hearts,</div>
<div>
that keep on our lives' rhythm. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
All these and more. </div>
<div>
In our hearts.<br />

our innocence.

<b>It is fascinating how your
childhood memories remain intact. </b>And as you grow old and you revisit
those special places, then you too are astonished by how big the
world looked in your eyes. I enter this room, the room I used to
sleep and our mother used to nurture us, and I see half of it. I see
it has shrunk through time. Maybe it also got tired through leaps in
time. Maybe it has also seen too much and now has the need to retire.
But I know now it is full of life again. It has revived. Or at least
it tries to, till solitude covers its corridors for one more time.
