Eye to the tree! sent on January 26, 2018 (23:20) by Pinitti. 42 comments, 965 views. [retina]

1/125 f/5.0, ISO 160, hand held.

Qualche hanno fa, passeggiando per Rodi (Grecia), dove ero in vacanza, mi ha colpito l'occhio disegnato su quest'albero perché sembrava farne davvero parte e perché gli dava un non so che di “vitalità”. Informandomi, ho scoperto che si trattava del cosiddetto “occhio greco”, un occhio azzurro portafortuna che viene di solito dipinto sulle perline di un braccialetto, oppure sui medaglioni di un ciondolo o di un portachiavi. Secondo la tradizione greca questo servirebbe a respingere il malocchio o ”matiasma” , poichè il blu è un colore in grado di respingere la sfortuna. In Grecia di questi occhi se ne possono trovare veramente molti in giro per i negozietti locali, ma esemplari più o meno identici e che richiamano alla stessa tradizione si trovano pure in Turchia. Infatti quest'occhio è presente anche nella tradizione musulmana (ed è comprensibile data la vicinanza della Grecia al mondo arabo) e prende il nome di ”occhio di Allah” ed avrebbe la stessa funzione di protezione dalle avversità. Il malocchio è un qualcosa presente in ogni fase della storia dell'uomo, dall'antica Mesopotamia fino ai giorni nostri e, per difendersi da esso, si sono creati vari tipi di amuleti.

I've already said it but I say it again when I'm down a picture of Pinitti brings it to me instantly it's healing for me. But do not try to imitate him, you can take nice and cheerful photos, even very beautiful but he gives him a special inimitable touch because he is a happy and positive person as well as nice and cheerful, just look at the avatar.
You are a great friend of mine, we really needed a big blue eye against the evil eye thanks for sharing this lucky charm. A salutone by emme.

I immediately saw and immediately recognized what portrayed your picture, dear Pinitti, I have a feeling of happiness that I feel every time I see photos of the Dodecanese islands. I fell in love with those places that have been an Italian possession since 1911 at the end of the 2nd GM. This fall in love led me to put on a small library that deals with that period, recent texts but also of the period, concerning architecture, government, the events of war and unfortunately also the deportation of the entire Jewish population of the archipelago in the field of extermination of Auschwitz.
Regarding the eye glass medallions, I have four hanging on the wall of the living room bought in Castellorizo ??some years ago ... ;-)
Greetings Gianka

Thanks, Gianka. I'm glad that my photo has aroused the feeling you described. I envy your library that, as a lover of reading historical texts, you would not struggle to "devour". Best wishes to you too.
