Το θυμάρι.. Thymian..

Η μυρωδια του θυμαριου σε ακουλουθει παντου στην Κρητη..
Aus dieser Pflanze wird der bekannte Thymianhonig hergestellt.
Der Geruch dieser Pflanze ist so intensiv auf Kreta....
Ich kann die Augen schliessen und habe diesen so betaeubenden
Duft sofort in Erinnerung..

Ο κήπος εμπαινε στή Θάλασσα
Βαθύ γαρίφαλο ακρωτήρι
Τό χέρι σου εφευγε μέ τό νερό
Νά στρώσει νυφικό τό πέλαγος
Τό χέρι σου ανοιγε τόν ουρανό..

Οδυσσέας Ελύτης

The second movement. Adagio.

The Piano Concerto Nr. 5 in E-flat major, Op. 73 by Ludwig van Beethoven popularly known as
"Emperor Concerto" was his last piano concerto. It was written between 1809 and 1811 in Vienna
and was dedicated to the Archduke Rudolf, Beethoven's patron and pupil. The first performance
took place in November 1811 at the Gewandhaus in Leipzig.

Glenn Gould the pianist was born in 1932 and died in 1982 in Toronto. He died at the age of 50...
Gould was also known as a writer, composer, conductor and broadcaster. He was particularly
renowned as an interpreter of the keyboard music of Johann Sebastian Bach. His playing was
distinguished by a remarkable technical proficiency and a capacity to articulate the polyphonic
texture of Bach's music...

Frangokastello...Φραγκοκαστελλο Σφακια..

 

Χωριό Φραγκοκάστελο: Πήρε το όνομά του από το Ενετικό κάστρο του 1371.
Η ιστορία του κάστρου έχει συνδεθεί με αιματηρές μάχες εναντίον των Τούρκων.
Τα εσωτερικά κτίσματα και οι πολεμίστρες κατασκευάστηκαν από τους Τούρκους.

Frangokastello village.
It took its name after the Venetian castle, built there in 1371.
In 1828 a battle for independence was fought against the Turks at Frangokastello.
Hundreds of Sfakiots led by Hadzi Michali Daliani, a Greek revolutionary, attempted to
spread the war of independence from the mainland to Crete.
Instead of hiding in the mountains, as most rebels did in this area,
he stayed in the castle with his soldiers.
Unfortunately, they were massacred and their martyrdom became legendary.

Der Mann war etwas scheu vor der Kamera. So hab ich seinen Namen nicht erfahren..
This face is like it comes from the Bible.
The old man was a bit shy.. So I didn't ask his name...

Love in Crete.. Liebe auf Kreta..

A child's play...

Playing with mud must be the greatest feeling in a child's world.
The little girl was in her own space...
I hope that her life will be in the future always so carefree.
