Another from my wander around the streets of Chios town. While the rest of the family dive into the shops, I stayed outside, and watched life happen around me.

Like this example .The expression on that womans face while she talks to the local priest is priceless .

Down on the street

Another from Chios town. This shopkeeper was sorting bags of what looked like millet seeds. While I watched him this old guy wandered into the shot.

Blah,Blah,Blah!

I saw this old lady collect her bread from a van which has just driven off. She shouted what sounded like some encouragement to the lad washing his jeep.

The sun caught her shoulder just as I pressed the shutter. That made the shot for me.

I wandered around the little village I was staying in on my holidays. This Fisherman was mending his nets in the shade. I pointed to my camera and he smiled and invited me to take a couple of pictures. Here is one of them.
