12/52 - Childhood Memories (52 Weeks: The 2016 Edition)
(Explored 3-24-16) (Dropped from Explore the next morning)
Several old photos of my younger brother and me. And one with my parents at the beach in Atlantic City.
I took mum to visit one of our relatives today. He didn't look too pleased to see us but I think we might have interrupted his lunch.
A spinning merry go round at night instills an indelible impression upon the mind of an onlooking child.....and of course adults who yearn to be young again.
The instant I saw this beautiful palomino pony she reminded me of one owned by a farmer called Mr Jenkins who rented out an old stone farmhouse near Bwlchllan in Mid Wales. We spent family holidays there each Summer in the mid - late 1970s. When it rained toads & banded snails emerged from the stone walls. It was my task to track down the Guinea fowl eggs each morning & Mrs Jenkins made the most delicious Welsh Cakes.
That pony's name was Phantom & I have happy memories of going to catch her, tacking her up in the barn & riding her proudly around the paddock by the cottage. Sometimes (with my Dad & our black Labrador accompanying me) we'd trot along a tree tunnel track which opened out onto a windswept hill where you looked down on the valleys below & could often hear distant shepherds whistling their sheep dogs.
A not so happy memory is falling off of Phantom & breaking my humerus (upper arm bone) as she cantered around a large field. The ground was rock hard as it was mid summer. I was slightly concussed I think as I was knocked unconscious (I was wearing a riding helmet) & woke up some time later with her grazing next to me. My parents didn't take me to hospital for 3 days - didn't want to spoil the holiday I guess but I was sick & in so much pain they had to in the end. I remember the embarrassment of being naked from the waist up in front of strange people as I was x-rayed & examined (I was 12). My right arm was strapped against my torso for 5 weeks. I hardly saw anyone during the rest of the school holidays & I had the bandages removed the day before school term started - at a new secondary school. My friends didn't believe I'd broken my arm, there was no proof, no plaster cast to sign. I can still feel that disappointment now that nobody believed me.
Another year when it rained for days on end poor Phantom slipped down the steep field behind the farmhouse & gashed her neck on the barbed wire fence. My Dad helped Mr Jenkins by hooking 2 fingers up Phantom's nostrils to keep her still while blue spray was applied to the wounds. He still recounts that tale to this day!
Seeing this pony brought back all these memories & many more. Uploading for "Smile on Saturday" theme "Full of Memories".
A moment of quiet reflection, thinking about the many times I've been to this lake. Frozen in the winter, shrouded in mist the fall. Memories of fantastic things I've seen standing not far from its banks; aurora, fireballs, meteor showers, galaxies, comets... they are still there or at least the memories, reflected in that lake. #Travel
A very good flickr friend of mine recently posted some pictures from her trip to Santorini and she got me digging for my own memories. Santorini is probably rightfully called the Supermodel of the Greek islands because it's so recongizable and unique. Not that the other Greek islands lack in terms of beauty or character but let's face it, it's not that easy to find an island with a volcano and a caldera. Santorini, or Thira as its ancient Greek name is, sits at the Aegean pelagos (sea) in Greece and it's one of the most touristic islands of the country. It is famous for the volcanic ground and the small island of Kammeni, which is the actual crater of the volcano. The volcano errupted in 1646 BC and a huge part of Thira was submerged leaving only the tip of the crater above water. Side impact of this huge erruption was a tsunami that traveled all the way south to Crete island and destroyed the Minoan civilization. I took this photo from a vineyard right at the center of the main island and if anyone is lucky enough to visit Santorini i totally recommend this place for wine tasting (Santorini is famous for its wines) and enjoy the sunset from a less busy spot than Oia village (you will see photos from there in a future upload).
PS: please excuse me for the low quality of these series of photos as they were taken with a compact camera of relatively low resolution and 7 years back i had no clue what "composition in photography" means.

Μια πολυ καλη φιλη εδω στο flickr προσφατα ποσταρε μερικες φωτογραφιες απο το ταξιδι της στη Σαντορινη και η κινηση της αυτη με εκανε να ξεθαψω κι εγω μερικες απο τις φωτογραφιες μου απο το νησι. Πιθανοτατα δικαιολογημενα πολλοι την αποκαλουν το supermodel των ελληνικων νησιων γιατι ειναι τοσο αναγνωρισιμη και μοναδικη. Οχι οτι τα αλλα νησια υστερουν απο αποψη ομορφιας και χαρακτηρα αλλα πως να το κανουμε, ηφαιστειο και καλντερα δεν εχουν. Η Σαντορινη, η Θηρα οπως ειναι το αρχαιο ονομα της, βρισκεται στο Αιγαιο πελαγος και ειναι ενα απο τα πιο τουριστικα νησια της χωρας. Ειναι πασιγνωστη για το ηφαιστειο της και το μικρο νησι της Καμμενης που ειναι η κορυφη του κρατηρα. Το ηφαιστειο εξερραγη το 1646 ΠΧ με αποτελεσμα το μεγαλυτερο μερος του νησιου να βυθιστει αφηνοντας μονο την κορυφη του κρατηρα πανω απο την επιφανεια της θαλασσας. Παραπλευρη απωλεια της ηφαιστειακης εκρηξης ηταν η δημιουργια ενος τσουναμι το οποιο κατέστρεψε το Μινωικο πολιτισμο της Κρητης. Η φωτογραφια αυτη ειναι τραβηγμενη απο ενα οινοποιειο στο κεντρο του νησιου και αν καποιος ειναι αρκετα τυχερος ωστε να ταξιδεψει εκει προτεινω ανεπιφυλακτα το μερος αυτο και για δοκιμη οινων αλλα και για να δει το ηλιοβασιλεμα απο ενα σημειο με λιγοτερο κοσμο σε σχεση με την Οια.
ΥΓ: η φωτογραφια αυτη καθως και οι επομενες που θα ακολουθησουν εχουν τραβηχτει με μια compact μηχανη με σχετικα χαμηλη (για τα σημερινα δεδομενα) αναλυση. Αυτο σε συνδυασμο με το οτι 7 χρονια πριν δεν ειχα ιδεα τη σημαινει συνθεση σε φωτογραφικους ορους εχουν σαφεστατα επηρρεασει την ποιοτητα των φωτογραφιων.
Point of interest being my late mother's glasses chain and its little brass container.

As in a memory of yesterday, when it was nice out (except for the darn mosquitoes). Now it's 52 degrees. More the way I expect June in the U.P. to be.
