Homeless


The total dependency ratio of population in Greece is 51.5 %. Male life expectancy at birth is 77.4 years. Half of Greek households rely on pension income, and one out of five Greeks are 65 or older. Youth unemployment is at 50 percent.
To me, is not surprise to come across a homeless old man begging at the corner of the old city of the Island of Rhodes during my trip recently.

Breathtaking Architecture Of Arkadi Monastery


The Arkadi Monastery (in Greek: / MonĂ­ ArkadhĂ­ou) is an Eastern Orthodox monastery, situated on a fertile plateau 23 km (14 mi) to the southeast of Rethymnon on the island of Crete in Greece.The current catholicon (church) dates back to the 16th century and is marked by the influence of the Renaissance. This influence is visible in the architecture, which mixes both Roman and baroque elements. Overhere, I have utilised the Venetian Arches to framed the main building of the Arkadi Monastery to achieve a greater depth for the image.
