And yet, the summer is not over. The sea is still waiting for us. I actually prefer September for the sea. It's less crowded, it's cheaper, the heat isn't so intense. Unfortunately, there are many against me to get back to Greece. The only consolation is the photos from the past years!

I met a cat on the street. A very young cat. I was impressed by the way she looked at me ... fearlessly, curiously, calmly.

The most pleasant is the end of the wait! Of course, when the object of waiting is pleasant, desired. Like when you make a trip, especially if it is long and tiring. When you see the light at the end of the tunnel ... The mountains in front are on the Greek island of Thassos. The hands that can be seen are those of those on the ferry and who have reached the end of the wait! #travel #photography

I allow myself a little suggestion, @noise.cash! This little pop-up asks us if we subscribe or not. Sometimes it's too early to subscribe, without knowing a bit about the one who posts, but at the same time, it seems to me too brutal to say "No", I think maybe is a quality user ... I think that another alternative would be useful, such as: "Not Yet" or "Later", remaining the possibility to follow the evolution of that user of this platform and to decide if we subscribe,…

It would seem that flowers can be ashamed. Here is a rose that seems to have blood on its cheeks, just as a good girl can blush. #photography #flowers

The most beloved fish, a mammal, is the dolphin! Considered the most intelligent, a fish that communicates with those of its species, even has a language that researchers are trying to decipher. The closest to man and friendly in the aquatic environment ... In the Black Sea, where I can go, there are dolphins, smaller specimens. I only saw them far away, at sea. On land, we have a steel dolphin, a tribute to this friend of ours.

The favorite word in crypto seems to be "HODL", meaning to keep, to gather, I think, I who am not exactly a good understander of the English language nor of the crypto world. I think it is a realistic and pertinent urge, for those who can afford it. I decided to test the crypto reality in the real world and I decided to take a few days of vacation, at sea, a trip to the sea paid exclusively from my blogging and microblogging activity. I succeeded, I have one more day and a…

The signs of autumn are more and more obvious, the short vacation at the sea is at the end. Soon I will go home and hate partings, not only of people but also of places, objects ... As the French say ... Breaking up means dying a little!

Coming out of the ground, that is, from the subway, on the way to the national theater. After two years I managed to go to the theater, and I must admit that I missed it. Downtown, National Theater, memories! Our old life ... An Armin Van Buuren concert is coming, who knows, maybe I'll be there too ...
@BlueDan
Museums are places where you can learn about many things, museums are sights to visit when we travel to cities and foreign countries ... On the other hand, especially in summer, it's difficult to spend time inside a building when it's so beautiful outside. I solved this problem by visiting an open-air museum, a flower museum, a botanical garden. Balchik Botanical Garden, Bulgaria. #photography #nature

Just as the eye is the window of the soul, so is the window, the eye of the house! I like to look at the windows of houses, they often say what those who live there are like. My wife loves geraniums. That's why our windows look this way.

A statuary group in front of the National Theater. I told you a few days ago about a theater show, seen after almost two years of pause. The statuary group, composed of 16 bronze statues, has a total weight of 25 tons. It is a statuary group dedicated to the actors, in this case to the traveling actors who traveled with a cart, from city to city. Of course, many years ago, two centuries ago. It's a monument that I like very much and it is emblematic of the center of…

It is a feature of human nature. To believe that what the other has is better. This makes us want what we see others have ... as children actually do. I like exotic flowers, but my desire does not go very far, to the tropics, because I know that it is not possible to get there. I stop at the Mediterranean climate and its flora. I like it the most when I can grow flowers from another climate in my yard. After many attempts I managed to have the passionflower, Passiflora,…

Waiting for a coffee ... I arrived in a little-known part of the city, at a medical check-up (for my wife). Not very pleasant. While waiting, I wanted a coffee and found a small cafe. The coffee was little and not very good. That is why it's good to buy from known and tested places.
@BlueDan
Near and so far. It was last week but it seems like years ago... It's past vacation time and I'm already dreaming of next year's vacation. From holiday to holiday my life goes on. I remember waiting for my paycheck, waiting for that day of the month, then the next month, and not even noticing when years have passed. Now I'm retired, counting the holidays, I don't even want to think how few are left!
@BlueDan
Summer to autumn. We need to take advantage of the fresh vegetables that are coming to an end. Come winter in Europe, these vegetables will be in the supermarkets but they won't taste as good as in summer.
@BlueDan
City by night! Now I realize how much I missed the city the night. Because of the pandemic, the theaters were closed and they alone made me leave my marginal neighborhood to go downtown. I didn't realize this longing until a few evenings ago when I went to the theater again after almost two years. I remembered the good old days! #mytown #photography

An early autumn Sunday, a day when summer is still fighting autumn and it's hard to tell who wins. Actually, it's easy to say who wins, we win! We're casting another gorgeous day for walking and relaxing because it's Sunday. A very nice Sunday! I look with envy at these athletes who seem to be treading water. Others, in the distance, are racing in little sailboats, taking advantage of the autumn wind. A walk in the park. #mytown #photography

This is a castle. I mean it is called a castle, the former Queen Mary of Romania lived in it. It was the Queen's summer residence in Balchik, Bulgaria. Balchik is a small coastal town on the Black Sea. The Queen died in 1938 and the monarchy was abolished in Romania in 1947. This castle, now a museum, remains as a reminder of times gone by and to show the modest way of life of a queen, the former granddaughter of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and…

A friend of mine used to say that... "if I catch the one who still says old age is beautiful, you'll see what I'll do to him!" Yes, old age brings wisdom, it brings a certain peace of mind, but it comes at a price. A price that shows on the body... #life #photography #tree

First - a short presentation A moment still postponed happens today, i.e. I am now writing my first post in read.cash. I've been toying with the idea of writing here for a long time, but so far I haven't decided and because of the insufficient time I have now, paradoxically, because I'm retired and I shouldn't miss it. Life, however, does not take into account our opinions and decides to do otherwise. I've decided now and I'm glad for it, even though I know the beginning is…

Yesterday I posted for the first time in Read.cash! I joined a few weeks ago and hadn't decided to start, I kept weighing up whether it was right to do this, whether I would find the time for a new activity. I'm a fan of noise.cash and find it natural to be active on the other site, but I also wonder if I can still have the patience to start it up again. Because I've been in another blogging program for over four years and I know how hard and how much work it takes to prove…

I have a good friend who lives in a village a few dozen kilometers from the city where I live. Life in the country has many advantages and benefits, which I won't list here, because surely you know them. But as nothing can be perfect, it also has some disadvantages, such as the difficulty to get to certain places, like the airport. Now comes the role of friends. Always when my friend has to get to the airport I am the one who drives him. The last time I did this, the…

Autumn is a season of abundance. Harvests are harvested, all kinds of fairs and events are organized. On my weekend walk, I saw an autumn fair celebrating the ripening of the grapes and the beginning of winemaking. Wine goes very well with barbecue and potlucks. Food is specific to different regions of the country, from the Danube Delta to Transylvania. This is what happens in Romania.
@BlueDan
I most like, when I can't get to nature, to try to bring nature to me. I was gifted with a very small front yard and here I try to cram in as many plants, flowers, bushes, and trees as possible. Of the flowers, the sunflower is one of my favorites. The flower is wonderful but it has a disadvantage for small places, the plant is very large. I have not kept this in mind and tried to grow a few plants myself and succeeded with one in between. Now the sunflower is also growing…

The night is something special in the city. Since I live far from the city center I don't go there very often, unless I have important reasons. An invitation to some very close friends gave me the chance to see the city center again at night. I have to admit it has changed a lot in the last few years and it has changed for the better. I liked it and decided to resume my night walks in the city, as I used to do many years ago. Bucharest, Romania. #mytown #nightphoto
@BlueDan
I was so impressed with the night out I had last night that I'm posting a few more pictures of my city at night. I can't say that I really like what I see at night on the streets, I mean I don't really fit in with those who like to be on the streets. It reminds me of my youth when I used to be on the streets more. Now I like it more at home! #mytown #nightphoto

We are now living in a time when climate change is easily noticeable. This is remarkable and dangerous at the same time because these shifts are happening over extremely long periods of time, so long that entire generations cannot notice the change. Now I have noticed how the seasons change, I have noticed that the winter of my childhood is completely different now, only half a century later! A recent United Nations report places half of my country, Romania, in a…

When I visit new cities I am, of course, attracted by the famous places that make that place special. This was the case when I visited one of the great cities in Romania, called Iasi. It is the fourth largest in the country. Its emblem is the Palace of Culture, the building in this photo. A former Palace of the Monarchs, then Palace of Justice, and now it hosts several museums and exhibitions. It is a must-see if you come to this city. However, the pleasure of traveling also…

Autumn is here for many of us. For me, the autumn of life has even arrived! Autumn is a pleasant season, it's a transition, it lets us get used to the thought of winter. Although I am in the middle of autumn I still can't forget the beauty of summer! #photography #travel
