Fountain no. 2
Second running fountain despite the freezing weather!
Located at Marienplatz, the central square of Munich.
Києво-Печерська лавра
Pechers’ka lavra (en: monastery of the caves) is a place you shouldn't miss in Kyiv.
Thank you Sasha.

Zaganiari by night
Summer time. Tranquillity. Landscape lit mainly by stars. Once in a while a car. A capture of 30 seconds. Theetsa's culinary art enjoyed in the balcony later that night.

(Not so) black swan
I'm going to see the 'Black Swan' at the movies.
Since I don't have a picture of a black swan yet, I give you a stretching-his-wings white swan :)
Question: How is a female swan called in greek?!?

Home, sweet home!
Behold where the King of Stuttgart spends his days (and his nights perhaps!)
p.s. I have no idea what it really is...

Now on the way to Pulakida
I was a good boy today and saw the second rainbow! Note that its colors are reversed. And its outer color is violet!

Buon appetito!
For appetizer we have stuffed mushrooms and authentic italian bruschetta (made in Greece by a greek person...)!
Enjoy!

Ship high!
One of the many things I love about Munich is the little details you find on the buildings.
Take for example this ship located on top of a building somewhere close to the city centre.
You can find this, and many other statuettes like this, all around you. Just keep you eyes open!

B-day!
Like the high mountains!
(explanation: greek idiom which expresses best wishes for ones' birthday; to be long lived and healthy)
Excuse the picture, I don't have a picture of Ψηλορείτης (literally means, high mountain) yet, you'll have to make do with the Alps :)
Happy Birthday!!!

La Luna
Ok, this is not a good quality picture. I find it a bit difficult to take pictures of the moon, day or night. I bet a zoom lens would help a lot.
Nevertheless, it is a day to remember in Munich. The sky is clear! :D

Fountain
Germans cover up their fountains during the winter, I guess to protect them from the snow.
But this guy here made it through the winter! It is one of my favourites!
You will find it close to Karlsplatz (Stachus) in Munich.

Snow circles in Munich
-What do alien scouts do when they find that their favorite crop-circling wheat field is covered in snow?
-Snow or not they do their job. You are in Germany mister.

Better get a camera to record the event!

Bird is the word!
The journey across the beautiful island of Andros continues...
This beach is located close to Chora, the capital of the island.
Geese and a pair of swans are swimming in a pond close to the sea. There are also some ducks, but they were too shy to have their picture taken. I'm not sure if the water in the pond is salty or not.
In the middle and a bit on the right handside of the photo you can (barely) see a light house.

Vassilopita
Happy new year everybody!
In greek households, we hide a coin inside a round cake called Vassilopita and cut it just after the turn of the year or in one of the following days. The host distributes the cake between Jesus, St. Vassileios, the Poor, the House, members of the family and the guests. The person who finds the coin in their share is the lucky one of the year.
Kostas Sotiria
cookie 1. Vassilo-pita has no gyro or tzatziki. However it is still a pita.
cookie 2a. Vassilopita is the pie of St. Vassileios, bishop of Caesarea, today Kayseri in Kappadokia, Turkey. This custom is in memory of the pies he gave away to the people with coins inside to return some money gathered by the church.
cookie 2b. He is the saint that brings presents to good children in Greece. Although while alive, he was a rather ascetic figure, today is dressed in red, is fat with white beard and of course drives a sleigh pulled by flying raindeer. Sounds familiar?
cookie 3. There is no coin in the cheesecake.
