Today, once again, I will let Helleniscope’s lens give you a taste of our Greek Independence Parade on Fifth Avenue. There were not as many spectators as everyone wanted, but their participation was impressive. Our camera, as always, was focused on the young, very young, the youngest generation – it all is happening for them and their need to have a sense of their roots… Enjoy!
