The small central square at the village of Aghios Lavrentios (St Laurent) on mt Pelion. Everything is frozen. There is no sign of life. Everything covered under a deep blanket of snow. Like our lives, put in the deep freeze. There was some hope for the snow to melt, but more has already started to fall. Lives and hopes will continue to be covered. For long time. With no future for the younger people here.
Η μικρή κεντρική πλατεία στο χωριό Άγιος Λαυρέντιος του Πηλίου. Τα πάντα είναι παγωμένα και σκεπασμένα από ένα παχυ στρώμα χιονιού. Δεν φαίνεται ίχνος ζωής. Την έβαλαν στην κατάψυξη. Όπως και τις ελπίδες και τις προσδοκίες μας. Λέγανε πως τα χιόνια θα λιώσουν. Μα φρέσκα άρχισαν να πέφτουν ξανά. Οι ζωές και οι ελπίδες θα συνεχίσουν νάναι σκεπασμένες και καταπιεσμένες. Για πολύ καιρό ακόμη. Δεν φαίνεται τίποτα να δημιουργεί νέες ελπίδες, ειδικά για τους νέους μας.

Costas, it does look so beautiful. Maybe you can focus on the magic of nature, allow it to transform you. Please do not lose heart, for you are blessed among so many whom have even less. I know that it must be very difficult, yet try to look for the positive. Your country is in our best thoughts Costas~
Goodness, you really are in a deep freeze! We finally received 4 inches of wet snow yesterday which was badly needed. It was getting pretty dry around here.
Superb captures and composition, Costas. Sadly, your description of what is happening to the people in your country is all too true and it's very sad to read/see!

Χμ, θα μπορούσαν να είχαν τραβηχθεί και στην Ουγγαρία!
Amazing winter!
Keep warm Costas.
Costas, although this scene is gorgeous, I am sad for all the economic troubles and unrest in your homeland. There are many around the world who care about Greece and its people. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
The season is winter, but we have a promise of spring... always.

well that's where all the snow is this winter, you have it all! beautiful photos kostas! keep warm!!
Wonderful photos, Costas! I think that you do not have in many years so much snow. It is the same here, in Romania. Over 70 people died during the last month because of cold. In the eastern part of the country the snow reached the roofs of the houses and people had to dig holes in the snow to come out. A large collection of food and clothes started, to help them. There are old people, who have nobody to care about them.
Gorgeous scenery. Harsh reality.
