OCT/09 SANTORINI (Cyclades--'Encircling')
The zig-zag grey is the switch back road that Dov expertly navigated in our rented car which turned on a dime...Ladybug.
The volcanic islands in the foreground
Our sunset view from our balcony our first night! Can it get better?
A promenade which runs a good part of the ridge of the town of Ia.
The opposite direction; Fira, the largest town in the background.
A magical kingdom
Small fishing community and beach
Wine tasting at Boutari WineriesW
We lived on the far side that you can see
Cruise ships come and go. Only a short time ago...
A favourite picture
That is not snow but a village between these unbelievable cliffs, some of which were held in place by large nets
View from our kitchen
A very favourite spot...many hrs. here writing and sketching
Early, early morning sunrise
Reflecting on the opposite side of the 'Caldera'
The growing light
Growing into gold!
Closer, coming to us!
Found us!
My favourite type of photography...finding the pathways and portals
A favourite spot of Dov's with his binoculars.
The last early morning
This time we were ready to embrace the light coming toward us on the promenade!
And there we are...can you find us?
Donkeys bring people up from the beaches at certain areas. Stick to cars.
I loved it! Weren't we some lucky! Above a family restaurant; only 4 rooms; we were the only guests...they made us coffee, CD's of Greek music and shared wine with us!
A lofty bedroom
Ladybug!
Back down the zig-zag road to the ferry and away...back to Naxos!
Wow! What a tour of that magical island? Is it that REAL? It is hard to believe that a place that sureal exists. You two must have been in absolute heaven! Wow!
'JOURNEYS:Pathways and Portals'-- each journey begins with a single step or choice(conscious or subconscious)which leads us along a pathway, a specific direction, with focused footsteps. Along this pathway are portals or openings which I see as opportunities. When we step toward these opportunities, we then have taken another pathway at that intersection.
This blog will share some of my journeys through the creative process of writing/photos. My lst article 'Let's Go!...Dog Mushing In The Yukon' will forever remain one of the most empowering experiences of my life, so is fitting to be lst.
Included in my blog's launch are also two very memorable, special times recently with my two children. Eventually I want to share 'JOURNEYS PAST: Pathways That Have Brought Me Here' as some of you have been wanting me to do for some time.My poetry/phil.essays/travelogues & experiential art mandalas and the photography/poetry & writing surrounding them will find their way here in their own timing.
Included now is my present journey in 'EUROPE: Footsteps Through England', the first part of a journey of epic proportions.
Wow! What a tour of that magical island? Is it that REAL? It is hard to believe that a place that sureal exists. You two must have been in absolute heaven! Wow!
