Elesha and Katy in Nafplio

 Greece is my second home in the summer and even during the pandemic I still managed to visit Tolo on the Peloponnese. Elesha was rather lost with all her dance and modelling work cancelled, so I invited her to come. She jumped at the chance. Having got to know Katy, my friend Dimitri's daughter we thought an evening out in Nafplio was on the cards. The old town in Nafplio is amazing with all it's mix of architecture, narrow streets and steps along with a beautiful harbour. We didn't shoot for very long as the heat was still intense well into the evening. Nafplio is busy and bustling but a few steps up the hill and you are in the quiet zone.

Normandie With Sapphire Day Three

 

Day Three and the pain of my back and sciatica was really starting to hamper everything. Our first destination of the day was the historic city of Bayeux. It's Cathedral dominates the streets. As with many historic buildings renovation was taking place. We wandered the outside to find views where railings did not spoil the imagery. One periphery building had huge photos posted across windows of scenes from World War Two. With a quick break for lunch and a beer our next backdrop was a narrow street for portraiture and dance jumps. The French public were not the best to work around with the dance images. They wanted to be in the images and get their phones out to get their own photos with total disregard for what I was doing. Eventually we finished and went for a quick tour inside the Cathedral. Collapsing into the car it was off to Surville Beach. This was to prove the most difficult part of the day. A herniated disc and soft sand to walk on are not recommended. With evening light on dunes and beach I got some pleasing results. Exhausting day in the roasting heat I was done.
