Looking Out Through Athens

Sun Leaf

Came across this image with no intention of photographic practice. I had simply forgotten to take sun glasses out with me, and in an attempt to block the sun began playing with some images. This photo caught my immediate attention. The way I interpret it, the leaf is the sun.

65 Caterpillars

During a walk up Leviticus Hill, I stumbled across a working line of 65 caterpillars. They made their way across the concrete in a perfect chain that did not break even once.
 After some research when I returned to Wales, I discovered this species is known as Pine Processionary. They live in large tents, usually in Pine Trees, and march out at night in single file to feed along pine trees in their single filed manner. The caterpillars I came across were out close to mid day, which according to online research, indicates they were now fully grown and in search of pupation sites. A spectacular event I hope to catch more and more throughout my life.

Athens Graffiti

While exploring the streets of Athens, it was evident the majority of the city was covered in Graffiti. Not the kind of Graffiti seen back here in Wales, where there is the odd gratifying scene, but this kind of artistic standard was found across almost every wall.

Beauty against the Austere

Venetian Couple

There were many people wandering St Marks Square in Venetian styled clothing. 

Stained Glass

A stained glass window along the streets of Venice. I found this interesting as an image as it seemed as though the colour and brightness was prevented from spreading.
