Fira by Night

A picture I took in Fira (Santorini, Greece), last summer. It is a long exposure shot and I've repainted some parts of it. Fira is the modern capital of the Greek Aegean island, Santorini. It is a traditional settlement. The view from there is magnificent, with a unique panorama showing the 18 km long caldera from southern Cape Akrotiri to northern Cape Ag. Nikolaos, plus the volcanic island Nea Kameni at the center with Thirassia Island in the distant west on blue Aegean water. Fira is a town of white-washed houses built on the edge of the 400 m high caldera on the western edge of the semi-circular island of Thera

"If you can dream it, you can do it" is a famous quote by Walt Disney... I took the photo in Greece (at the Ancient Thera, an antique city located at the top of Messavouno mountain in the island of Santorini) The stairs are part ot the ruins found there. There was a spectacular view down to the sea. I also made the drawing showing an orca escaping from a "frame in a frame", a way out to another universe, which is hold by Mickey Mouse, the famous character created in 1928 by Walt Disney.

I've taken this picture in a very narrow street in Fira,
Santorini island, Greece. I also made the rough sketch.
I really had the feeling to enter in someone's mouth... :)

First Photos from Greece!

I just came back from an unforgettable trip in Greece. I was in Athens, Santorini, Naxos and Mykonos. I took more than 5000 photos. Here below are the first pictures I already selected, edited and posted (click on any of the following images to enlarge it and to know where exactly it was taken). I'll be sharing more pictures from Greece in the coming weeks/months. Thanks for watching.
