Impossible to dig in Athens without hitting something. It all seems to have been buried alive.

Some of the results of days of dusting some film. The flowers were from an evening in Ioannina on the lake and the buildings which were actively crumbling and being rebuilt were in Monemvasia. A sun setting and a sun rising on two very different places.

15th century Greek manuscript that includes a curse: whoever touches or steals his manuscript should get a rotten hand. Even includes a drawn example of what their rotting arm would look like.

Really need to stop writing all of my notes on random bits of paper from my pocket and napkins. This is how my thoughts accidentally end up in the bin.

The bitter oranges are becoming ripe on the trees in the city again, which means that when the street-cleaning truck comes by and crushes the fallen, the air will smell like fruit.

I finished my first manuscript last year, decided it was wrong, and then finally got around to starting from scratch. I had the bright idea to write it out by hand this time to get far away from the original and I just finished transcribing the first 60+ pages. I do not recommend this method. :’-)

It's been dreary in Athens this week, so I'm happy to revisit this photo of a poppy field in the Turkish countryside. I have this little point-and-shoot camera that I think many people don't take seriously, but I sincerely love the painterly quality of its resolution.

A church in the Chora on Serifos. Going through photos always reminds me that it's always worth it to force myself to get up early. Mornings are reserved almost exclusively for my husband, me, and the local cats, because everyone sleeps in.

Paintings wrapped in bubble on the wall at the Capitoline Museum. Through plastic, the images all became something else entirely. Remarkably soft. Shades of brown were turned purple in the reflective surface of the paintings' new covers.

Of the 95 lines Diogenes Laertius' doxography of Anacharsis, 7-8 are dedicated to his fear of the sea. The first reads: "Learning that the thickness of a ship was equivalent to four fingers, he said that those sailing were [only] this far away from death."
