Echoes (Sifnos, Greece)

It is morning, the morning after. The echoes of the night before are still reverberating. You can feel them.

These are images of the “Steno”, the main pedestrian walkway in the town of Apollonia, on the Greek island of Sifnos. It has long been the hotspot of the island for strolling, shopping, socializing with friends and neighbours, eating out and enjoying the nightlife. As one might imagine, this well-used thoroughfare becomes very busy and crowded in the evenings, especially in summer, as tourist season heightens. Sounds of merriment emanate from everywhere and the alleyway that is the “Steno” pulses with life.

In the morning light, the appearance and sounds are quite different, but the echoes of the previous night are still there, hanging in the air … waiting to be brought to life again.
