Colours of Athens: No.2 Light & Shadows

Last year Shiftazine ran a series of colour homages focusing on beautiful and inspiring locations, 

such as the cities of Berlin, and Melbourne and the country of Greece (Ellas).

Several days ago Shiftazine published the first in a series that will feature the ancient and eternal city of Athens.

This evocative image of light and shadows was captured at Brettos Bar, which is the second oldest operating bar in Europe.  

Located in the heart of the Plaka area, it is the part of Shiftazine’s pilgrim path when in Athens.

The 2015 series will be, once again, a joyful observation of the colours that are a part of these intriguing places. 

Colours of Athens: No.1 Taste of Gold at Kuzina

The colour gold is ever present in the land known as Ellas.

Saffron and fava beans bring that glowing colour to the plate, and the ‘plates’ or dishes in this article are served at Kuzina in the Thiseio area of Athens.

This delicious and delicate food above is, Risotto with pumpkin, corn, goat cheese, raisins and saffron on the left, and on the right, Fava beans puree with caper leaves and fresh tomato.

Enjoy!

Taste the colour

The colour you see is but a series of vibrations buzzing around in the universe.

Like music, it is made of waves, frequencies, vibrations which fill the world.  

Observe and adsorb colour not just with your eyes but with all your senses. 

Taste it! Feel it! Hear it!

Beauty in Chaos

Shiftazine has been away looking at what is out there in the world.

There is beauty and wit amongst the chaos and troubles.

Surely a wonderful indication that the human soul is capable of surviving

almost everything 

as long as there is a platform for art and creative thinking to exist.

Good to be back!
