Beautiful Greek churches shimmer in sunlightpatience is required to get that shot
without revealing the throng of hungry tourists
amassing from the cruise ships
The real jewel of the island
rises and falls
into the sea
twice a day
a golden pearl
just out of reach
A room with a view
like no other
life on the edge in Santorini
Near-sighted photographers
having lunch in quaint Greek villages
should remember
to put their glasses back on
before focusing
oops
Resplendent flowers
everywhere
on the stairs
and on the roof
S is for Santorini
not my favorite Greek Isle
but beloved by so many
Its little adobe abodes do remind me of
my little house
in old
Santa Fe
ABC Wednesday
is at Mrs. Nebitts place
Great choice and the pictures are just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Santorini might not be your favorite isle but I'd give my eye teeth to be there... Crimson flora under my window and... beaches. I'd never sleep.
ReplyDeleteLet's hear about your little house in Santa Fe.
Hugs,
Mary
WOW! This was great. Thanks for the tour and sharing the great photographs.
ReplyDeleteOur S is Setting.

Troy and Martha
Your pictures certainly convey an atmosphere of the place, not that I have been there.
ReplyDeleteMy wife did a painting of Santorini from a friends photo about a year ago - http://arty-farty-musings.blogspot.com/2007/06/ecclectic-mix.html
Santorini looks like a photographers paradise. Great shots and great choice for S.

ReplyDeleteHi T.R. This is a wonderful post! My husband's family is Greek and he has visited Greece, but I never have. I really want to go there someday, and Santorini is on my list. Your pictures are beautiful.

ReplyDeleteT.R., my sister and mother visited Greece on one of the cruises last May and loved every minute. They brought back some beautiful pictures of Santorini. Can't remember if it was one of their favorites, but I know they enjoyed it very much.
ReplyDeleteIt does look like old Santa Fe....nice shots....

ReplyDeleteYour first photo makes the church look like a wedding cake decoration, so soft and dreamy.
And nice real saddles on the donkeys in caravan.
All so lovely, your scenes.
Thank you!
This is such a lovely post, and I'll forgive you for the fuzzy donkeys - they're beautiful anyway you look at them!
ReplyDeleteYour lovely photos make me want to just sit up there, among the flowers, & sip wine. And I don't even LIKE wine!
ReplyDeletePerfection. You leave me speechless!
ReplyDeleteHey TR, I've left one of those blog award thingies for you over at my blog.
ReplyDeleteYour photos shimmer like a dream. Thank you for waiting for the tourists to clear. Blurry donkeys don't bother me.
ReplyDeletei love these, fresh angles on a familiar scene. I adore that special shade of blue they use for the doors and domes. Would love to travel the Med one day. I grew up on the writings of Gerald Durrell and would love to see Crete too.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots!
ReplyDeleteWow you have really captured the atomsphere in these photos!!!
t.r. wondeful series of photos. It look like an amazing place, bright and colorful.
