The last entry featured the mysterious red tones of Santorini. While the color indeed is very special to the island, Santorini is also part of Greece. And so it is a blue island after all.

The caldera of Santorini is a fantastic place. Due to the significant volcanic eruption around 3,500 thousand years ago, the island is covered in red and black stone, exposing layers of rock that are millions of years old. Also, the water sometimes tends to be reddish, making it an almost alien sight.

In this one I recall our journey around the Gulf of Corinth, visiting small villages and larger cities. But mostly, it is all about the beauty of nature and the all-present sea.
Some impressions from the Winterly Alps in February 2014.
It was a busy month, so I had little time for photography. But two or three times, I could take a camera with me and make some shots of (more or less) winterly Vienna.

Mykonos is part of the Cyclad Islands. Today, it is a populous island, living primarily on tourism. It is well known for its beaches and nightlife. In ancient times, though, Delos’s much smaller sister island was much more critical than Mykonos. It was a sacral island and a place of worship mainly for the gods Apollon and Artemis. After its decline, Delos was primarily forgotten and rediscovered only in modern times by archeologists from France. Today, it is a museum and can be visited easily from Mykonos by ferry. Pictures 2, 3, 4, and 5 (the well-known lion statues) and 6 are from Delos, while the others are shot on Mykonos.
