Day 69: Greek Circle Dance

2026-04-16

Limited permission was granted to use photos taken for these events on this site.

Hello!

My school hosted a Greek Night, a cultural festival with circle dances, egg dropping, and lots of food. I didn't know how much I would like pastitsio :-).

I'll be honest, I think this event was a bit much even for me. I've been a bit out of it recently, as growing pains in my life become more apparent.

Getting this photo required lots of attempts, where I would pull around a folding chair and stand on it to get some height advantage. When I hold my camera up to look down, I can't see through the viewfinder or any display, so I just hope that the camera is focusing correctly. Most times it doesn't, so I keep trying. It's inefficient, but I don't need a hundred photos anyway. Just one.

Finally, a brief window into my childhood. After reading The Comics: Since 1945 a few weeks ago, where I rediscovered the characters of Popeye and Charlie Brown, I also rediscovered Harold and the Purple Crayon, an imaginative children's bedtime story. Reading it again, it felt a bit lonely, but had a peaceful ending that still let you dream creatively. What other childhood classics have been forgotten? Octonauts, probably.

Cheers,
David
