One of the most intense elements of the image of Kavala is its citadel. While it stands on the top of the peninsula of Virgin Mary (Panagia) it is tied up in a harmonious total with the houses of the homonymous historical district that extended all around it in tiers. It is interesting to watch the course of the fortress in time.
The name “Christoupolis” first appears in texts of the beginning of the 9th century. The change of the city’s name should not be linked to its abandonment, but to its reorganisation as a fortress of the Byzantine state. The role of Christoupolis as a fortress is particularly emphasized in Byzantine texts: «the Christoupolis fortress as on the one side was very powerful thanks to its construction... on the other side as a bolster lies down… it leads through Thrace, and thirdly as it is onshore and it could easily enter into alliances” (Ioannes Cantacuzenus, 1,4 Bonnae edition). The citadel (fortress) standing dominatingly on the top of the hill of the peninsula, at a height of approximately 70 metres, was reconstructed upon the remnants of the older Byzantine castle, in two phases: first, at the beginning of 1425 in view of the imminent attack of the Venetian fleet, the Ottomans built the “new walls”, obviously the parts that had been destroyed during the siege and occupation of Christoupolis (1390-1391). Secondly, in approximately 1530 the walls were repaired once again, at a larger extent and more assiduous intervention. At this time, the exterior surrounding walls of the citadel were built, with the addition of which the fortress was extended considerably and increased its defensive puissance. More specifically, the exterior surrounding walls of the citadel must have been built during the years 1530 -1536, at the era where Suleiman the Magnificent decided to enforce its defence in several coastline positions (e.g. Thessaloniki – the White Tower). The exterior surrounding walls linked the citadel with the half destroyed then perimetrical walls of the peninsula and also fortified the lowest side of the hill, towards the harbour. The two entrance gates of the citadel are found here also: the First (in the place of an older Byzantine gate), is found at the end of today’s Kapsali street and is equipped with a «zematistra» (scalding spot – from where the defenders threw boiling oil onto the enemies).
Shot on Labor Day, 2025, this photograph of Coney Island in Brooklyn could really have been taken at any time.
Nature, God's canvas, painted bright,
With dawn's soft glow and starry night.
In every forest, on each verdant hill,
His love whispers, tranquil and still.
From mighty peaks to oceans adrift,
Nature's splendor, God's timeless gift.

A picture of Princes Bridge with some of Melbourne's high risers as a back drop drop. This monochrome image shows the timeless appeal of this wonderful city.
The gorgeous pier at Llandudno, North Wales, getting the ubiquitous long exposure treatment...somehow appropriate for a subject like this, standing firm against the worst that time and tide can throw at it...
Although the city is, by historical standards, rather new, the insane mixture of the traditional and modern architecture in the mountainous settings certainly earns the place a legendary status. This photograph was taken from the Maokong Gondola on a beautiful afternoon.

Felt like time stood still having this view and waiting for the long exposure to finish. It´s almost like having wheat buns in the owen, you can feel the smell and are eager to get them done. I must say I miss having a sound go off when my remote shutter release has finished. I want a rrrrrrING!
This is is my first shot where Lee meets Singh Ray.

Always fun and with tons of stuff going on. But the homeless sleeping situation is getting worse and I actually have to dodge their body so I don't trip on them while walking in there. Crazy.

This series is the third part of a set of photographs taken in Albania during a trip in October 2024.
Less pessimistic than "The Last Paradise before the end of the world", which draws a post-apocalyptic portrait of the city of Vlorë, more nostalgic than "Nothing to see" which focuses on forging identity signs in cities that have few, she speaks with another voice to tell Durrès, the country's first port and popular seaside resort in the Adriatic, like a bittersweet comedy, a bit like in Eric Rohmer's famous tales. The voice continues its story to Tirana, for a more frantic street photography, but always full of indulgence.
Same decorations, different writing, hence the play on words of the title which unfortunately only finds its meaning in English.
