The sky has always been, my favourite eye seeing, heart feeling. The word human in greek is ανθρωπος, meaning '' looking high, looking towards the sky '', and this more than the ability, that we human have, has a strong connection with the virtues we all carry.

To me the sky, has a symbolic value, added to its true value, cause sometimes, when all is said, done, thought, felt, in the utter times, we all want a sky to look, a sky to love and love us back. It has been an issue of my thinkings and feelings, that the ones inprisoned, when asked, '' what to you miss more'', after the word freedom, most of the times, have as their strongest longing to see the sky, the one that we, walk under every day without glancing not for an instance. I think we live in a mirroring society.. We want to see ourselves in the mirror, and then again ourselves, through the eyes of others, when the other becomes our mirror. We take nature, sky, trees, animals, sea for granted and most of our times is through the society, build in an artificial nature.

Sky is there, not only to brings us beauty, but as a reminder of our spirituality, and the way we all our heading..if we want it, I think. It is our nature to meet our sky, after meeting our selves, our given family, our friends, our work, our bills, our chosen family, it is in our nature to meet the sky. Although, living takes us all away from the true essence of living, I always -when looking the sky-, understand that I have a long way to walk, till I can be a complete human..so complete as a travelling cloud, and as a working bird.Μοst of my work has to do with nature and feelings, so I could not resist, sharing with you all, some of my most favourite images, cause to be trully honest, I love my images, they are like friends to me. As sky is for all of us, a friend. Meet your sky in your eyes, in everyday living, inside, and make nature a constant life in life, I am always telling my self.
All images, are from Volos, Greece, 2010-2011 and are photographed by Stathi Stathi.
Thank you for your time and interest,
Be well and meet your sky!!!

Years ago my mother clipped a sentimental poem by James Kavanaugh because it reminded her of me. A portion of it--and I edit for continuity--goes, "Some men are too gentle to live among wolves...who dream instead of Easter eggs and fragrant grass / and search for beauty in the mystery of the sky."
Oh, Stathi, is there any hope for a man like me?
"...it is in our nature to meet the sky." I agree, and I think we are all the better for it.
Your photographs are stunning!
We only exist as our resonances with others.

Your words and your photos are lovely, filled with wisdom and very thought-provoking, Afrodite. Thank you for sharing this and yourself.
And thank you too for the challenge.
The top image is my favorite. Is that Icarus ?
