Southern Winter

Southern Winter 1 - by Tesoulin Photography This is a small post, mostly nature pics, taken late last year and uploaded early (-ish) this year. All from a trip to Mani, located in the south of Greece, where we stayed in a small house in a small village in the middle of nowhere. Perfection.  We even lit the fireplace, though temperatures were rather warm.. so desperate to experience winter! The highlights - in picture-taking terms - of our stay are not included in these images and are possibly my best efforts in long exposure night sky shots, that of course, I've yet to process. But I will! Soon (-ish).
