Eastern Europe

Selling Easter bread. Chisinau, Orthodox Easter weekend. April 2008.

If they are like the Greek ones (which I should image they are) they contain a mixture of mahlepi spice and mastiha and have a very characteristic sweet and taste.

A lovely photo Pan, so touching and human, with a marvellous natural innocence.

(I can just imagine you walking on ahead and saying something like, “Don”t stop, just keep walking - I’ll only be a second.” And the reply, “Oh Dad, not again!”)

The kids are really fed up with me taking pics of them - especially during Covid times...

thank you Pan and Erik! I was shooting with Mamiya RB67 for the first time in 10 years and it felt great, too bad I took only one roll of film.

I do like all these photo's but then I've always agreed with Jane Austen when she said “Pictures of perfection, as you know, make me sick and wicked.” (And I dislike those plasticy towns and villages all over Europe where you fell the entire place has just been boiled and scrubbed clean for the tourists or, worse still, the house proud.)

That was in a letter (18th November 1814) to her niece when someone had commented that her heroines were not always as well behaved as young ladies, apparently, should be...

Aleksey, a retired scientist I met a couple of years ago in Lviv, Ukraine. There's a nice story about this encounter, told in pictures here.
