Greece 1992: Kato Gouves Crete

A black and white landscape photograph showing a mountain with two domes at the top, a power pole in the foreground, and a small town in the distance set against a rugged terrain.
Greece, Crete Kato Gouves – August 1992

In 1992 the beaches at Gouves were much more open, and the village was rather small. Now it is all modern and built to the brim. A view from a hotel room long ago.

About the B4 retouch series:
I browsed my archive for pictures to publish. Some of them are partly retouched but most do have scratches, dust and stains.

Originally shot with Nikon F301 on Kodak TriX, scanned from negative and tweaked using Snapseed and Marksta. Click the picture for a larger version.

Night Club Sign and Balconies in Rethymnon, Crete

Greece, Rethymnon – September 2016

LAPC 309 is about balconies. I have to admit that I do not pay special attention to balconies, unless they trigger me as I look around and they catch my eye. This in Rethymnon on Crete. A bit of a messy shot, but I spotted the sign of the night club (does one have to be envious to visit?) and the adjacent balconies and roof, mimicking the eye lashes of the club sign. A kind of eyebrows raised photo.

shot with Nikon D7000, edited using Snapseed and Marksta.  Click the picture for a larger version.

2nd Balcony Scene, but it’s not Shakespeare

LAPC 309 is about balconies. I have to admit that I do not pay special attention to balconies, unless they trigger me as I look around and they catch my eye. This in Rethymnon on Crete. My first entry was an original monochrome on film. With this one I could not decide between the original and the edited monochrome version. Hence you see them both. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

From the archives: Chania Crete 1992

Greece, Chania Crete, August 1992

This week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge (#164) is ‘Looking Up/Looking Down’.

Again one from the archives and hence monochrome. In August 1992 I visited Crete and old town of Chania. The old lighthouse in the old harbour.
