Aggelos Sikelianos is a wellknown author in Greece and worldwide. He was born in 1884 and died in 1951. His writing comprises poems, literary work and Greek tragedy. He was a candidate for the Nobel prize. During his life he used to stay at Salamina, among other places. He had a quaint little house near the sea. In fact that's the reason he had chosen to write in that house. He used to put a small table at the balcony and as he was enjoying the outlook of the sea from the one side and a hummock full of pines from the other, he wrote his best poems.

Of course you still have Summer, Marina. I 1955 I swam on New Year's Day in Cyprus.
My picture was taken in 1968 when the global climate was cooler as it will be again soon.
Nice shots though I am afraid I have never heard of your author. I was 15 when he died.
Wonderful photos dear Marina! Typically Greece! Have a perfect Friday and week-end! :-)
p.s. I've changed my blog address.

You've shown us wonderful photos of a lovely house, and I can imagine that a poet can write here the most beautiful poetry. Thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend!
What a beautiful place to sky watch! My favourite photo was the first one .. something about the softness of the clouds appealed to me.
Fascinating narrative again.
Marina: That is a wonderful story to go along with your SWF photo.
What can one say, your photos look so deliciously Greek! The stark white houses against the brilliant bue of the sky, you can just about smell the air.
εκει θα ηθελα να ημουν και εγω, να γραφω με την ησυχια μου...
