When the lights come on: Larissa's central square at Christmas

In the depths of winter, Larissa's central square changes face. The big tree lights up, the plane trees are wrapped in fairy lights and the city comes out onto the street despite the cold of the plain.

From above

From the drone the square looks like a drawing made of light: the diagonal paths, the round flower beds, the dots of people walking. It is a view that reminds you how carefully designed the centre of a city is, a city we usually live at pavement height.

What remains

The lights go out after Epiphany. The pictures remain. We keep them in the magazine's archive, together with every season of the city.
