I must admit I’m in love with summer. Even though Hamburg (Germany) is the most beautiful town in the world, the weather is exactly the opposite. Since weeks we have a lot of rainy days and I (as some sort of artist) am looking for colors. Here everything is more or less grey, at least 49 shades of grey. That’s why I’m dreaming of Greece where we always go in the summer. Every morning when I get up and look outside I can’t believe that the sky is always blue. It’s a very intense blue and the sea has such a beautiful turquoise color that I have never seen anywhere else. In order to feel a little happier and to please my followers I looked for some photos which might be beautiful to you, too. I wish you all a lot of sun and beautiful colors.
Going to Greece or anywhere warm with a beach sounds wonderful. I hope you get there soon Mitza!

One gets spoiled with blue skies day after day. The occasional grey day here can be easily tolerated, but the return of the blue requires rejoicing! ;->

We had so many grey days here that I had to look at my Greek photos, Judie. You probably have better weather than we have. By the way, it still snows and is quite cold, virtual hugs Mitza

Kefalonia is a very beautiful island which has a great mixture of mountains (up to 1700 m high) and beautiful beaches. Here in Hamburg the highest mountain might be 200 m. It’s so flat that you can see visitors one week before they come, which gives you the opportunity to hide if you don’t like them, hehe, regards Mitza

I could also recommend May. Then nature is blooming, everything is smelling beautifully and it’s still green all over. In September everything is dried out. š

Fantastic Greece, love the blues of Greece, there is no other place with that blue! This is such a feel good post, I just closed my eyes and I could hear the sound of the waves, smell the sea, hear the seagulls and feel the joy of it all!
I can imagine myself as well waking up every morning to that splendor, you can be only happy and smile straight from the beginning of the day! You certainly transported us into a beautiful summer season! Thanks for the treat Mitza! Much love and hugs~Eva

You really got the feeling I wanted to transfer and that really moves me always. You must add the smell of wild herbs, the warm sun, the song of a lark and the toll of a goat bell, the sound of the wind and waves and that’s all. Some places are so lonely and beautiful. I love that most of all, silence. Sometimes I would like to cry because this beauty overwhelms me, sigh, hugs Mitza

My wife and I spent the first 8 years in Alberta, truly a sunshine province. But with the abundance of sunny days and the lack of rain comes the 50th shade of grey. The land looks parched in midsummer and the plants are crying out for water. We eventually moved into Beautiful British Columbia, gorgeous, lush and GREEN. But come winter, we living so close to the Pacific suffer under the same depressing cloud cover as you do in Hamburg. Your photos cheered me up this morning. Thank you, Mitza!

Alberta seems to be like Greece. It doesn’t rain in Greece from March to September and of course most of the plants and trees are dried out. But when the first rains start nature nearly explodes. I have been in Vancouver once and really liked the nature there. I didn’t think that you had such depressing weather there, too. I thought we here in Hamburg have the worst weather all over. I’m happy you liked my post. It’s really nice being able to live in two different countries and climates. Regards to Canada, Peter, Mitza

I have to take care that they don’t make me cry, because beauty overwhelms me sometimes. When the sun falls into the sea in the evening and I sit at a lonely place, is very moving and I would love to hear some divine music at that time. But these Greek colors always make me feel good. As I said before, the sun goes into your heart but the rain goes into your psyche:) I’m happy I made you smile, Debi. š
