Meeting Hivers as large as life!

avatar

Meeting new people is usually refreshing. Meeting Hivers in real life is not only refreshing, but absolutely interesting as well. The fact that they turn out to be the kindest people you could meet and you would have an amazing time laughing as if you were with good old friends was beyond any expectation and such a cool experience :)

@bil.prag and @cake.depression decided to visit our city during their road trip in Greece. Neither me or Stefanos had ever met in person any "virtual friend" and even if you feel you know them you can never be sure how things will really feel. Well, these guys are super cool and spending time with them is just a bliss!


Four Hivers, three cameras and a smartphone, three (or maybe four?) Wednesday Walks, and I am curious to see what each one of us saw in this walk and if there is going to be any photo looking like another :)

Nafplio is my hometown, so I was the official guide. And this is a big responsibility! I felt responsible for the weather as well :) It was cloudy and it was definitely raining in the nearby city and villages. We could see the lightnings but luckily it didn't rain that evening, so we fully enjoyed our long walk.

This house in the photo below could describe me on Hive during these last months. Not quite visible, but still existing, while other things have taken all over me :)

I have, without any exaggeration, a few hundreds of photos taken these last months and quite a few ideas for posts, but this meeting was meant to be my come back post.

I have walked so many times in these places, I can't be objective, I love it here. I wonder how @bil.prag and @cake.depression felt...

We were hoping for some nice sunset colors, but the clouds were too heavy. But by the way, I am pretty happy with this photo of the canon. When you are on a photo tour with two pro photographers, then you appreciate the one good photo you got, haha! There is no comparison between my level and theirs, but I had to do my part during this walk for the joy of playing around with these guys and having a story to share now :)

It is amazing that even though I have seen these places so many times from all the possible corners, there is always a new perspective. Plus, @cake.depression helped by noticing things I hadn't noticed and asking all the interesting questions that I didn't have the answers for :)

We had the chance to have nice long talks the four of us. As I said in the beginning, exactly like being with good old friends. After meeting them a few days in a row, I admit that we missed them when they left and I know it will be awesome to meet all together again!

My favorite city tour is not complete without a visit to the Clock and the view of the old city from above.

At the same time, the lightnings at the background were getting more and more frequent, but we took our time and enjoyed it!

I don't know if I passed the feeling with this post. The time we spent with these guys was amazing! Absolutely grateful for meeting such beautiful people!

I wonder who's next, haha!
Really hope to see these two guys again sometime! In Greece or Serbia or any place!


This is my #wednesdaywalk contribution for the wonderful challenge by @tattoodjay :) And this was really a special walk!



All the pictures and the words are mine, unless mentioned otherwise.

Wow! I can say wow! Meeting hivers that you only knew at first online is really exciting and amazing.

You all have cameras and maybe there are some pictures similar but most probably are different because everyone can see beauty in different angles.

Thank you so much for stopping by @jenthoughts! It was definitely exciting, especially when you get to meet really amazing people :)
And you are right, each one of us has their point of view and that makes it even more interesting :)

Hello, That is nice to see you back!!
I imagine it must be weirdly exciting to met without knowing each other but still knowing a lot of each other:) sounds very good anyways!
Lovely hometown you have there, mind you, I guess the weather was probably good to add some drama in all those photos taken on that walk...:)

Hey! Nice to be back and nice to hear from you @kesityu.fashion :)
Weirdly exciting is a very good description, haha! Luckily these guys are amazing people and super cool to hang around with!!!
There was definitely a good dose of drama added by these clouds! It was raining all around, but not where we were, great luck :)
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Whoa, a walk with a fellow hivers is also what I wish. Sadly, I dont know anyone that lives here in our province who also is a user in Hive.

Anyhow, i can feel how enjoyable you were in your walk with them. If it's me and the place has this pretty view on whatever direction I look, i'll surely enjoy it too.

Thanks so much @john0928!
That photo of the three of us was "directed" by @fotostef, I love it! Inspired by the shootout scene from the western "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly", haha!

This is what I love about #hive, that you can not only maintain a virtual relationship with people, this goes beyond the computer screen and experience real and great things with very nice people
The places they have chosen for a walk are beautiful. Beautiful shots, excellent shooting, I appreciate you sharing these beautiful photographs.
Have a nice Wednesday walk.

Well we got you to do a post, that is a win :)

Nafplio was probably my favorite from this trip. It is a mix of touristy and locals, with right amount of people :D could also be that was influenced by a great tour guide we had :)
