In August, due to other assignments already booked, I wasn’t able to cover the big wildfires that broke out around Greece. However, on the 13th of August, I had the chance to visit Lalas village near Olympia in Peloponnese, to photograph the German firefighters that came voluntarily to support the Greeks. Even though there where no more big fires, the burned area was enormously big and the landscape looked kind surreal.
