Wings

When do you decide to close permanently a door, to not let it open anymore thinking that someone can come in or you can see something more through it? When do you decide to replace a dream that has remained too much as may be, with one that is still too shy to hope for reality? When a lot becomes too much?

Sometimes expectation is good. Another time it is an obstacle. Close all the doors where you are waiting. Choose a shy dream and give it the chance to reality!

Remembering Cyprus




9000 years of constant invasion... crusader castles... ancient vineyards... Roman mosaic floors... This is history. But how does Cyprus look today? Go and see!

10000




Sunset... End of day... Time for dreams, revelation and conclusions. Seaside, mountain top, home... Lot of nice place to enjoy... At 10000 meters, the perspective is totally other.

Who gave me like?

Remembering Cyprus: December 2001

After 9 days of heavy rains, sun is smiling again. (Two days before rains end, they say that this was the biggest rainfall in Cyprus in the latest 16 years!)

The Limassol promenade, usually crowed by tourist and local people, looks now like a muddy place. BUT wait! Is seems that all the people are on old port see wall: a forest of fishing line, an ocean of fishing guys and a lot of fish. What happened? Fortune for some, unlucky for other (unfortunately, this is life!): the nets from several fish see-farm were destroyed by storm. Fish are free and ... hungry.

On the road





Distance does not matter but just the first step. Why is it so hard to start on the road?

Remembering Cyprus: "Nabucco" Castle

Cyprus is a small island so you’ll not find here local theater, opera or ballet bands. But, if you want to see a great spectacle, it is not a problem: many big theaters come for fantastic performances. There isn’t a big theater building, so medieval or ancient sites create interesting open-air stage.

In September 2001, Verdi's "Nabucco" was the fourth opera to be staged in Kato Paphos with the Mediaeval fort as a giant backdrop. After "Othello" and "Aida", it is also the third Verdi masterpiece, and coincides with the centenary of the composer's death. In Cyprus "Nabucco" was being staged by the Polish National Opera Company.

“Nabucco" is a love story based in Jerusalem and Babylon of nearly 2600 years ago, full of love, intrigues and tragedies. The Hebrew chorus of "Va pensiero" is one of Verdi's most memorable operatic passages.

Symbiosis



Desires can not exist without memories. By wishes the past creates the future, and through memories the future redefines the past. Everything is constantly changing on the road to our dream.

Pastel



A white spot marks the warm expanse of the sea: a yacht that carries its stories and dreams to sunny or rainy shores. Blue, white, green, emerald, golden, yellow, purple: watercolor pastel. Memories...
