Lip SengJanuary 17, 2018

Margarites Village – known for its pottery, is in Rethymnon in central Crete, Greece. This demonstration of the artist in the village reminds me of our Sunday outing 50 years ago of visiting potteries workshop in Singapore. The cottage industry has disappeared with urban renewal of our country.

A Church In A Village

Lip SengDecember 18, 2017

I came across a conducive atmosphere just right for my landscape image while i was scouting for a good image in Patmos island, Greece, in July. I think the misty weather in the late afternoon provided me with a good backdrop for the whole image. The church, the foreground have added interest and set a good contrast for the landscape. I love the whole setting for the serenity of the environment. Have you spotted a bird flying into the frame?
