Relax

Right in the middle of nowhere, on the side of a narrow, winding country road leading to a special, kind of surreal little village in Northern Chios (Pytios), a village where time, seasons and space somehow loose their meaning and news from the outer world never reach you. The bench accompanying the lonely tree overlooks nothing in particular, just a plain, barren field, yet it's the perfect place to lose yourself and to be lost for a while.

<sub>This is one of my very first attempts at Infrared photography. I hadn't dared to take a picture of this tree before because sometimes a shot doesn't capture a memory, it destroys it horribly. When I saw how infrared filters work I thought that it was the only way to capture the unreal quality of this place.
