Prometheus in the clouds...
There is a cynical difference between living and surviving. Every time I climb up in the summits I can see more clearly what it's like to really live like a human, like a little god... We humans are born little gods.. So bright and unique and in the end we die like humans!, what an irony.
Another afternoon found me at the top of Olympus, in Mytikas. It was September 28, 2022. I climbed to the top on the verge of a documentary that I took part in and at the same time to calm my soul. The climb was in the clouds and fog. When I got to the top it was almost dark with little light on the sky. Then it started to get dark. I prepared my gear for the night on the summit and sat down on my sleeping bag.
Clouds and mist were passing over me and bringing moisture and some raindrops. For me this was something normal, so many years on the peaks I have come face to face with all elements of the weather. I relaxed and calmed down enjoying the darkness and the void. I calmed down.
Then I listened to some music and that's how the magic began.. The sky opened and the landscape cleared. The stars shone in my eyes and I started photographing the night sky..
But.. Something like this is is a night in the arms of the gods for all those who have the courage to live it...
