Greece is indeed a beautiful and much more than beautiful country. These shots are really cinematic and breathtaking. Cloud's formation at that moment is so heart captivating. The castle in the middle is looking like a castle for hope. Are you scratching your head ? That why I said castle of hope. Like everyone who sails in the sea will always wish or hope to see the castle.
Oh, yeah I forgot to say that in every conversation with a stranger I also do awkward hellos same like you. But sometimes it gets difficult to catch up in a little time. On the other hand I am quite happy that you caught the vibe and you talked like you know them from ages.
