@celialee: all the best to you too
@Dimitrios: Να' σαι καλά Δημήτρη!
Η φωτιά έφθασε μέχρι και την Ν. Πεντέλη. Ούτε πολύ κοντά αλλά όμως και ούτε και πολύ μακρυά. Η ατμόσφαιρα ήταν πολύ αποπνικτική, άρρωστο φως, λες και ήταν δύση ηλίου, ο ήλιος πορτοκαλής κι αυτός, μαύρα σύννεφα και τριγύρω πέταγε σαν χιονάκι ψιλό στάχτη. Ζω εδω με τον άντρα μου από το 1996, αλλά ήταν η πρώτη φορά για μένα που ένοιωσα την απειλή της φωτιάς... Να φανταστείς, χθές πακετάραμε λίγα πράγματα...
Σήμερα πήρα από την απλώστρα 2 ρούχα και ήταν καλυμμένα από στάχτη.Ολη τη νύχτα σιγόκαιγαν εστίες υπο έλεγχο σε όλη την κορυφογραμμή της Πεντέλης, ευτυχώς υπήρχε ολη τη νύχτα ισχυρή πυροσβεστική δύναμη. Τα αεροπλάνα συνεχίζουν να πετάνε ρίψεις νερού, δεν πρέπει να έχει σβήσει εντελώς ακόμα. Αυτό που με ανησυχεί περισσότερο είναι οι αναζοπυρώσεις γιατί μου φαίνεται οτι σήμερα φυσάει πιο πολύ από χθές...
Πάντως σήμερα σέρνομαι, σηκώθηκα σχετικά αργά και παρόλ' αυτά νιώθω τόσο κουρασμένη....Ψυχολογικό....
Σ'ευχαριστώ πολύ Δημήτρη!!!!!!

@Evi: Η φωτιά είναι τρομερό πράγμα. Η φετινή χρονιά από τις χειρότερες, τι να πώ; Οφείλουμε σαν κοινωνία να ΦΡΟΝΤΙΣΟΥΜΕ περισσότερο το περιβάλλον, δεν είναι δαπάνη είναι επενδυση ΖΩΗΣ, ΦΙΛΙΚΑ ΔΗΜΗΤΡΗΣ
@Dimitrios: Ξέχασα... Η φωτιά επίσης έφθασε και στα ανω Μελίσσια. Να δούμε πως θα'ναι ο φετινός χειμώνας.
17 Aug 2007 3:12pm
@Evi: Μακάρι, αλλα οι βροχές.... εύχομαι να μην έχετε προβλήματα, φιλικά Δημήτρης
Cool, you posted an old clock today; I posted an old thermometer. I really like this one.
17 Aug 2007 3:28pm
@Viewfinder: old meets old, good meeting, regards D
I really like the old clocks! And this one is impressive! Nice shot!
17 Aug 2007 4:47pm
@Oddiy: it is a beauty e? regards D
how old is this clock? this will be a collector's asset. Nice job D.
17 Aug 2007 6:33pm
@Olaide: Well we had one similar in our house many decades ago, I estimate it to be 50-60 yeras old, regards D
Is it for me? Because I'm very late in my posts? OK I hurry up!
I saw an other thing. This year in the half North of France we have a horrible weather this august and 19° C today! and I see back the clock you have 26° C... Can I come please?
17 Aug 2007 9:40pm
@Henri Rabagny: well Greece is experiencing hot weather yet, we are close to 30 C, so pack your swimming gear and splash in.
Easy to waste - impossible to retrieve - but you're not wasting your time Dimitrios - taking fine photos!! :)
18 Aug 2007 1:49am
@Bron: Your words are ENCOURAGEMENT to my ears, kind regards D.
That is a really cool clock Dimitrios, awesome!
18 Aug 2007 10:44am
@Alfredo J. Martiz J.: I am glad that you liked it Alfredo, regards D
@Raziel: Thank you Raziel
Didn't know that such an old clock could make a good picture, I have a wooden one myself and you just gave me an idea for the end of this week!
21 Aug 2007 9:57pm
@Erik: clik-clic then, regards D
Love the clock! There was probably something like this in our house when I was very young. Wish I had it now. So that's the first reason why this is so appealing -- nostalgia in this digital age. You have framed this well and it looks beautifully quaint. I think, though, that I'd have positioned it to avoid the reflection and moved the dark object on the lower right. I don't know where you took this, of course, and I guess it might not have been possible to allow for these things under the circumstances. Still a good one as it is, for sure.

@Andrew Gould: thanks for your comments, it was in a house I rented it. Go on try to find one in an antique shop!
