My trip to the Peloponnese(12)- National Gallery of Nafplio.

After walking a bit further from the old city centre...
...we reached the National Gallery of Nafplio, an amazing building with a great collection of paintings.
At the time we were there they were exhibiting paintings that depict heroes and scenes from the 1821 Independence Revolution of Greece against the Turks so I think this blog post is really interesting as it coincides with tomorrow's celebration here in Greece.









































I love the details of these paintings.

Two sunny days.

Yesterday was a sunny day and at school I walked around the garden and took some photos.
Wooden benches at the school garden.
 
 
 Lichen on the tree trunks.
 The olive trees of the school.
 Today at school we did a celebration for the 25th of March which is here a National Holday.It is the day Greece got its freedom from the Turks in 1821.
 Today I noticed that my muscari are blooming for the third consecutive year.
 And the violets(or whatever these are) smell beautifully inspite the rubbish under my balcony.
