Blood from the heart turning into gold. Το αίμα της καρδιας γίνεται χρυσάφι.

I could have chosen another title. Something like "The skies on fire" But I think this is more proper. Because my heart never left Crete. The photographs from the glorious sunrise on my last morning in Crete. I took these photographs using my 70-300mm zoom lens, at various speed settings and focal length. You can see the results. Better viewed if you click on each photograph to enlarge it. Enjoy.
 Θα μπορούσα να βάλω σαν τίτλο "Οι ουρανοί έπιασαν φωτιά". Αλλά νομίζω πως αυτός που χρησιμοποίησα τελικά ταιριάζει περισσότερο. Επειδή άφησα την καρδιά μου στην Κρήτη. Είναι οι φωτογραφίες που τράβηξα το τελευταίο πρωινό στην Κρήτη. Χρησιμοποίησα αυτή την φορά τον φακό 70-300 χιλ. zoom, σε διαφορετικές ταχύτητες και εστιακές αποστάσεις. Μπορείτε να δείτε τα αποτελέσματα. Θα χαρείτε τις φωτογραφίες καλύτερα αν κάνετε κλίκ πάνω τους και τις μεγενθύνετε.

    A glorious way to begin a day indeed, Costas! Such breathtaking captures!! I can understand your heart never leaving Crete! Such a gorgeous place and such wonderful history. It must be hard for you to leave now considering what is happening in Athens. Have a safe week, take care!

    Πεθαίνω γιά τέτοιους ουρανούς και τέτοια ηλιοβασιλέματα. Οσες φορές και αν τα δω δεν βαριέμαι να τα φωτογραφίζω. Τώρα είμαι ακόμα πιό σίγουρη ότι θέλω να ζήσω όση περισσότερη απ΄τη ζωή μου μπορώ στην Κρήτη. Τα έχει ΟΛΑ!
