Delicious colours…

“An apple a day keeps the doctor away”, was always what my dear mother told me. When I took this shot in a nice little Greece town named Pylos. I remind these words and made me smile. Now while approaching the dark days here in the Netherlands we need a little cheer up with colours I thought…

While wandering through the narrow streets of Pylos I encountered this shop where nice juicy and very colourful fruit waiting to be sold. I took some pictures but was closely watched by the man with the stick in the background. Of course the man had al reasons to observe this strange behaving tourist making photos of objects you should eat and not watch. The man shook his head. When I left after first had bought a kilo of excellent Greece grapes I waved to the man and than his face change in a big smile maybe I made his day but for sure he made my.

Pylos (Greek Πύλος) formerly Navarino, is the name of a bay and a town on the west coast of the Peloponnese, in the district of Messenia in southern Greece. It is the capital of Pylia Province. Nearby villages include Gialova, Elaiofyto, Schinolakka, and Palaionero. The town Pylos has 2,561 inhabitants, the municipality of Pylos 5,402 (2001).
After the Nikieion Peace, Pylos was under Spartan domination. The ruined city was reconstructed in 369 B.C. and flourished during the hellenistic times, when its domination was disputed among the Spartans and the Achaic Conglomeration.
Pylos retained its importance during the Roman and Byzantine eras until the 6th century, when it falls into the hands of the Avars and changes its name to Avarino (from which came the name Navarino).
During 1287-1308 the despot of Thebes Nicholas B' SaintOmer fortified it with a castle. It was conquerred by the Navarres around 1385, the Enetians in 1417 and in 1500 it fell in the hands of the Turks. The Enetians conquered it again in 1686 and the Turks in 1715. During the 1821 War of Independence Pylos rebelled under Georgakis and Nikolaos Oikonomidis, with the help of an Eptanisian corps with Merkatis and Maniats under Pierrakos Mavromihalis and a squadron from Spetses and forced the Turks to surrender the castle (August 7, 1821).In 1825 Imprahem occupied the castle and the town and kept it under his command until the sea battle of Navarino, where the allied forces fleets, under Heyden, Codrington and Derigny defeated the Turk-Egypitan armada suffering almost no losses on their side. text from pylos.net

Colors, Colors, Colors - Great POV Hans with excellent details. TFS Julie

I think he was happy that he didn't have to wield the stick because you did not steal any Hans. Delightful range of colours that a display of fruit can offer, especially when viewed outdoors. Well composed, excellent colour and lovely almost half light. Brightly framed and well presented. TFS,
David
