Above Agios Nikolaos in Crete, a small old village, narrow little streets, tiny whitewashed houses, step inside, blinded by the sun, into the darkness of a room opening onto a lovely terrace, covered with a roof full of young vineleaves and starting Bougainvillea, in the distance the bay.
That is where Mikalis, now 94, has his 'Kaffeneon', people come in, they're all old friends here, they serve themselves in the frontroom, come and drink and laugh outside with him, pay Mikalis when they leave, he's got his moneypurse on him, difficult to move around these days... he lost his wife... things were never the same... he loves his cats though...


Yes, back from a fantastic short break in Cornwall with LOADS of new images, (lots of work!!!) sunburned, windswept, tired, saturated, sore muscles, HAPPY...
A real busman's holiday, tee hee.

Thanx for all the emails and comments, will get back on track(>>>EVENTUALLY>>>) Lolove, Magda, (*_*)

Goede tijd gehad lees ik; Fijn!
's Mmans vrolijkheid is de jouwe; mooi uitgelaten foto.
Zulke hemden heb ik ook nog; vreselijke dingen. Vrijdag gaan wij op vakantie; 3 weken.

Hi Magda,

A lovely shot of the old gent who obviously has a great love of life. I like the POV with the lens looking upwards and catching that smile. TFS,
David

Really nicely done Magda. The backlight really enhances this shot. I wish his eyes were a little more open but I guess for his age he was doing all possible! Good job. B

Fabulous character beautifully captured. This picture really makes me smile each time I see it.

Great colors and composition, two friends enjoying each other! Thanks for sharing!

Hi Magda,
I like this expression of joy and hapiness of this man that you've capture very well in his environnement. Very well done.
Luc

Great portrait of a graphical character. Crisp image, with lovely colors and well exposed.

Well its just a great, natural, simple portrait - good stuff!

Hi Magda,
so lovely, that shot is excellent.
I love the big smile of him and the curious looking of the cat, wonderful arrangement, thanks
