Today it's the Orthodox Good Friday".

Today it is the Good Friday for the Orthodox christians.

It's these days that i really miss being in Greece, to celebrate the Easter at the Holy mount Athos!

The picture above is from that place during a visit there two years ago.

If you wonder why is the Easter celebrated sometimes the same day but most often during different days at the Orthodox and the Catholic churches check here (unfortunately everuthing is only in ... greek).

Some etymology about the name of the day can be found here.

Listen to the hymn of the day here!

Five days festivities for Indian wedding!!!

Yesterday i had the pleasure to meet Fatima and Salim in Stockholm.

Fatima was born and lives in Stockholm while Salim was born and lives in England. Both of them have roots in India and their wedding is going to be according to the Indian traditions, here in Stockholm.

Well, the traditions are many and that's why the wedding will take five whole days, this summer, with one day dedicated just to the reception!

I met Salim for the first time yesterday while in a short visit in Sweden. We spent only some minutes for taking pictures (it was really cold after the sunset) but that was quite enough to see how much they love eachother and how easy going and happy persons they both are!

I am really looking forward to their wedding days (as much as they are)! :-)

Keep an eye on this page, it's gonna be full coverage of this fabulous wedding!

The spring has arrived!

Yesterday i was at Kungsträdgården to meet a couple that is going to get married in July.



The weather was wonderful, the sun was shining and there were hundrets of people lying under the sun, enjoying their koffee or ice-cream.



But the most amazing was the colours of the flowers! The beauty of the nature waking up, pictured on the faces of the younger generation!

Finally we are ready with the photos from the Library of the University of Stockholm!

It has taken us quite a few visits there to photograph as much as possible, while trying to be as unnoticed as possible. It's not so polite to disturb all those students reading there ...
