Two hopscotches, two cities (left) Istanbul and (Right) Plaka.
Different stones, same steps. Humans leaving breadcrumb trails of joy.

The quiet strength of everyday heroes in Istanbul.
Dignity lives in effort.

Great photos!

Such beautiful and enriching destinations! We might’ve even crossed paths, we were near the cruise ports in Istanbul, and in Crete we stayed in the little village of Armenoi. Life slowed down there in the best way… it’s amazing how those places remind you to appreciate the simple moments.

Dancing with my daughter-in-law at a garden restaurant in Chania is the heart of a Greek dining experience. Incredible local wines to the complimentary raki, and the beauty of slow dining, truly being with one another. A memory to cherish from Greece.

The Presidential Guard, are fascinating. Their presence isn’t about brute force or intimidation, it inspires respect and admiration. Every movement is precise, strategic, like a graceful martial art.

Today’s view of the Acropolis, after a fleeting shower, and suddenly it was bathed in a rainbow.

Walking through Istanbul felt electric. The blend of ancient streets, old-world architecture, and the vibrant pulse of its youth creates something unforgettable. Grateful to have experienced this vibe.

In Istanbul, it’s hard to be lazy,
With hills and stairs that drive you crazy.
You think you’ll stroll and take it slow,
But up another staircase you go!
So if you wonder why folks look great,
It’s all those stairs that elevate.

I was really fascinated by these tombs and graves when I visited. Learning how men’s and women’s graves were distinguished was so informative. I share your appreciation for this rich history.

Throwback Thursday to my time in Istanbul, a city of universal beauty, rich history and so much personality.

Unexpected turn yesterday from the gardens to the guards. Athens never fails to surprise. I love this city.

The glow inside calls her, but the autumn leaves whisper stay.

You’ve truly captured the essence of real life in your work. Stunning reflection of every day moments, so well done.

Every woman deserves a room of her own :)

Fun to see a motorcycle racing past history. Modern motion with an ancient backdrop in Plaka.
