Ithaki Calender 2005, December, Ithaca Greece

The days are short and cold in December. For most of the elderly, with only wood stoves to warm them, it's the beginning of a cold Winter that keeps them locked up inside to keep the damp out of their bones. All the colours of Autumn begin to fade as the frost bites at the green and lush island foliage. As Christmas nears, night lights decorating the villages, flicker and glow. Ithaca is coloured in Neon. Coloured lights set the foreground to Decembers' black, thundery skies.
