Whilst our recent week in Santorini was a great break - with temperatures in, I'd guess, the mid 30's each day - I did take a camera (or two!).
It wasn't the right time of year (lightwise) to photograph some of the iconic images of Santorini that you have probably seen in calendars and postcards, so I concentrated on abstracts, patterns, textures and colours which, apart from one or two obvious images, could have been anywhere with a similar climate (there is a cunning reason for this).
So here is a small selection of my favourites, the first two, perhaps, a little bit more obviously Santorini:
These were the winding steps down to the hotel next to ours. What a fabulous view each day!
What's a Greek urn, as the old joke goes? Well, this pot was just outside of the steps where we stayed and I took one or two images of it in different light. This is my favourite:
I loved the simple pattern of these white steps and the shadow in Oai:
This was a close up of part of the hotel next door:
The reflection of some of the parasols in 'our' pool:
The best seats in the house for watching the sunset:
A litle Greek kitten (aaaaaahhh):
And, last one in this post, a classic holiday view (!):
More to follow.
