Katostariko (Checking Tomatoes)
Brushed up with Picnik
Better Viewed Large
I always liked this capture and today I finally found out why (see note and in large).
Proves that there is always more on a picture than you thought...
btw. checking tomatoes is time-staking but very serious business!

Piemel
"Piemel" is a great Dutch word for dick and is usually used for (and by) children, however women also may call your precious possession this way, as a...ahum...pet name...

People with their dog #2
Sharp teeth! Like the dog this lady didn't have a sympathetic look...but they were...Same story here...They look the same...Sometimes I feel there is a God and has a (funny) plan...

People with their dog #1.000 to the pool of "Dogs of Greece"!
I remember the dog's name: Rudy, but forgotten the name of this lovely, graceful lady...I love the way they look alike and how the curve of the dog's tail somehow comes back in the lady's hair...I always have found it funny how people "pick" their dogs (or is it the reverse?)

This one's for Yiannis
You start feeling Greek when people invite you for sacred occasions like this. This boy Yianni represents all the best I ever found in a Greek man: bravery, honesty, skeptical, inquisitive but above all a real social archaic and sensitive democratic mind. This boy already had it in him, but then again...his name was Yiannis...
