Santorini colors
"The Mediterranean has the color of mackerel, changeable I mean.
You don't always know if it is green
or violet, you can't even say it's blue, because the next moment
the changing reflection has taken
on a tint of rose or gray."
- Vincent Van Gogh"
Fira,Santorini,Greece.
Rio-Antirio Bridge
The Rio-Antirio bridge, officially called "Charilaos Trikoupis" bridge after the statesman who first envisioned it, is a cable-stayed bridge crossing the Gulf of Corinth near Patras, linking the town of Rio on the Peloponnese to Antirio on mainland Greece, thus connecting the peninsula with the rest of Europe.
The famous sunset (again)
Palaia Kameni, one of the two volcanic islands in Santorini's caldera, looks like a ray!
Kastania under the rain (13 months later)
Southwest of Veria, on the slopes of Vermion mountain (18km), lies the village of Kastanies, which is usually snowed-in during the winter. This is the site of the monastery of the Panagia Soumela, founded by refugees from the Pontos.
