Just a photo from behind the stage. I seldom shoot performers, and it 'shows'.

At a medieval castle, in Northern Greece.

A historic city, on the shores of a natural lake (with an island* on it) photographed from high up on the lake's opposite shore. * They serve - besides more common fare - frogs' legs at the ...
