Atacama ... 5 years later
Recently I went through some of the pictures I took almost five years ago during my amazing trip to Chile. Surprisingly, I found some very nice pictures that I hadn't included in any gallery and that I didn't even remember, such as this slightly surrealistic picture of three head-less flamingos or the picture of geysers or the amazing colors of the Atacama.

Image restoration
Last week Ioanna's mother showed me a wedding photograph of Ioanna's great-grandparents which was partly damaged and asked me whether I can try to fix it. So I took a picture of it and back at home did my first attempt at image restoration. It turned out that with some cool Photoshop features (most notabely the "content-aware" fill option) even a novice like me can get some pretty amazing results without much effort (although you do need a bit of patience ;). Move your mouse over the picture to see how it looked before the restoration.

Great events are often foreshadowed
This will be my last entry ... as a free man.
Fittingly, I use it to post another image from the trip that symbolically ended my bachelorship.
I also uploaded even more images from the Scotland trip to galleries over at colors · and · contrasts.

Faces of scottland
Two weeks ago today, I was sitting with Phil and Michael in a pub in the middle of Scottland eating burgers and drinking ale - we had been talking and dreaming of such a trip for a long time. My expected transition into a married man was a welcome reason to finally do this trip. Among other things (see below ;), we admired the beautiful nature of scotland, which is enriched by the dramatic and rapid changes in weather. The three pictures below were taken within two minutes looking into different directions from the same spot. I don't know whether this will help to bring the sun-craving greek ladies here eventually, but I can always dream ;)
