Still bleary from a night with troubled sleep, I went to the window to look at the sky. It was the same as the days before. Reddish, gloomy, dreary. The Sahara dust keeps haunting us, hiding it's glorious blue colour.
I shouldn't be ungrateful though. Nafplio is in a much better condition than other parts of Greece, as I hear from friends living in Crete or even Athens.
I chose the old town for my morning walk. No hazy horizon, no dull sky but a lot of beautiful buildings and countless bougainvilleas!
Those thorny ornamental vines seem to be a "trademark" of the town. You can find them almost in every little street, in every corner, in every alley.
And flocks of people walking beneath them :)
The tourist season is now open. Not in full but no more lonely walks in empty streets. I'll have to wait for the next winter for some more of those!
But people are not bad, not in small doses. For photography I mean. They give a point of comparison for the grandness of the bougainvilleas :)
All that red flowers above the streets remind me of Christmas decorations, only in a more natural way!
Old couples enjoying their retirement, young couples cutting school, solo travellers with their suitcases, housewives with their grocery, businessmen with their phones, we have it all in our narrow, scenic roads!
And groups of tourists with their guides, of course :)
I don't know how this bougainvillea thing started but they are now invading in every part of the town and apparently in all my pictures :)
OK, I am the one to blame for that last one, as I made the decision today, to focus on this red invasion and make a post out of it.
The camera that I used is a Canon EOS 6D mark II with an EF 24-105mm f4/L zoom lens attached. I edited the photographs in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic

How beautiful are these flowers, here they are also abundant in various colors, red, pink, white. I like them very much, nice photos.
Thank you!
Yes, they are very beautiful flowers :)
I don't think anyone will fight this invasion 😃
Haha, probably not :)
Although I have met cranky old people who don't like bougainvilleas because they consider that the falling leaves and flower petals are litter!
How unbelievable, but people like that are never missing, unfortunately...
Oh my friend, Bougainvilleas are a visual poem, and these photos you have taken of them are spectacular!

Αυτό το κόκκινο πάει με όλα, μακάρι όλες οι πόλεις να είχαν κάποιο λουλούδι σαν κάτι κοινό σε όλα τα σπίτια, στους δρόμους και άλλα μέρη, έχουν άρωμα αυτά τα λουλούδια;
Είμαι περίεργη, στο μπαλκόνι σου έχεις και εσύ μπουκαμβίλιες; 🤔
Όχι, άρωμα δεν έχουν αλλά έχουν πολύ χρώμα!
Και όχι, δεν έχω βουκαμβίλια. Όταν είχαμε όμως κήπο στην Κρήτη είχα φυτέψει μία που την έχει κρατήσει ο επόμενος ιδιοκτήτης και όποτε πηγαίνω την βλέπω να μεγαλώνει :)
Α, ώστε τις έχετε και στην Κρήτη στα σπίτια 🤔 ωραία, η Ελλάδα των βουκαμβίλιων 👍🏻
They are red lions. They have some claws... 😝 (but they're cute and in your photos even more)
And you have very vivid imagination :)
Thanks!
I have one and when I have to prune it I live that great battle with the lion.
Haha yes, pruning can be a battle :)
