Santorini Sunset

I never thought sunsets like these were real, until I experienced them myself.  Always thought that photohop had played a part. This is straight out of the camera.  That huge ball of orange seemingly melting into the sea.  Amazing!

Akrotiri Lighthouse, Santorini

Canon 7D, 10-22mm Lens

Taken on Santorini, The bright blue sky, red rocks, and white buildings is so typical of hte island and makes everything so beautiful.

The Akrotiri Lighthouse is among the oldest lighthouses in this part of the world and was constructed way back in 1892. It stands like a sentinel towards the on the southern peninsula of Santorini island.

The lighthouse of Akrotiri is conspicuous by its square shaped tower that looms above 10 meters from the lighthouse warden’s house. Initially, the lighthouse was operated by petrol fuel. But with the introduction of electricity in the year 1988, it has been operated electronically and reportedly emits a radiant white light at intervals of 20 seconds.

The Old Blue Door

Beautiful old door in the village of Pyrgos in Santorini.  Love the textures and peeling paint and the string locking people out!  This village is one of the most beautiful in Santorini and was my favourite.

Dreaming of Sunny Days

Canon 7D, 10-22mm Lens

It's raining today, so I wanted to post this up to remind me that somewhere else it will be sunny and even if I can't be there, it's what I'm dreaming of. Snoozing for a week on these chairs is just what the doctor ordered!  I took this image in Santorini.  It's what we did on day two of our trip after tearing round the island on quadbikes the day before!

Red Beach, Santorini



Canon 7D, 10-22mm Lens
Red beach in the Akrotiri area on Santorini. Stunningly beautiful and well known for the unique colour of the sand and the hill behind it. Soaring red lava cliffs which drop right to the sandy shore and into the clear blue sea, makes for a majestic setting. The beach can be reached either by boat (there are several connecting Red Beach with Perissa and Akrotiri or by foot. This is as close as I got because of my injured foot.
