Twenty years before ...

I took a different snapshot today ...It was a photo ...it comes from the end of '80s decade. A good old friend uploaded it on facebook ...Three young birdwatchers are ready to start their usual trip into Apollonia forest at Lake Volvi in Greece. Over their heads there are nests of Ciconia ciconia (White storks) and Ardea cinerea (Grey herons)in a mixed colony ....
No matter who is who ...
I have never visited this place since 1995. Memories ....
