Mr. George Fidias is a native of Grevena, Greece. Grevena is a small town and municipality in the northwest section of Greece surrounded by mountains. It has roughly 15,000 inhabitants and as you might imagine, a very small town feel. George has been a Flickr contact for some time, and I came across his ‘stream again only recently after some months. I often like to look through photos of the land I was born in. My birthplace Kozani and my parents’ home town Kastoria are only minutes away from Grevena so the scenery and feel are familiar to me. This is one reason I am always drawn to George’s photos. I’m also completely enthralled by his use of vivid color, breath-taking landscapes and unique perspective on an area that is likely seldom photographed with such expertise. George’s pictures are the sirens of ethereal beauty, conveying smell, temperature, and humidity through zeros and ones.
