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

A lovely landscape I captured in Naxos, Greece . I first thought
this was a small toilet block, but not at all. It's a magic door. :)
