On Top of a Donkey!

Canon 7D, 10-22mm Lens

This is the last image I took before the donkey decided to buck me off.  I was resting my injured foot rather than walking down from the Acropolis of Lindos in Rhodes.   I thought I was doing my foot a favour, but in the end, I did myself a disfavour.  I will never ride another donkey anywhere ever!  Beautiful place though - loved Rhodes and Lindos.

The Odd-Eyed Cat of Rhodes, Greece


Nikon D50, at 55mm.

This is an image my daughter took in Rhodes, the Greek Islands of a white cat with two different coloured eyes. The condition most commonly affects white-colored cats, but may be found in a cat of any color, provided that it possesses the white spotting gene. There is a common misconception that all odd-eyed cats are born deaf in one ear. This is not true, as about 60%–70% of odd-eyed cats can hear. White cats with one or two blue eyes do, however, have a higher incidence of genetic deafness.

This cat was hiding under a car but I completely missed seeing it because I was busy photographing something else. By the time my daughter pointed it out to me, it had shied away and I couldn't get a decent shot of it. However, she took a brilliant one as you can see, photographer extraordinaire as she is (even though she has a Nikon!!)

Temple Athena, Acropolis of Lindos, Rhodes

Buy Now

Canon 7D, 10-22mm Lens

This was an amazing place.  I had to sit and wait for all the tourists to disappear to be able to get the shot.  I hung around for ages until the right moment!  I think there is one person behind one of the pillars!  Lots of memories here, as this is where I fell off the donkey after I had visited here.  Stunning place to explore.
