Of course we need a photo when one of these rarities appear in the marina
Steps. Steep steps
Poros town is built on a hill.
The sky today is clouded with Saharan sand
When the sun shines the blue and white shines too
Steps, alleyways and more steps all the way up to the top of the hill.
Poppi took the photo of the Kiwi yacht.
The other photos were taken by my daughter Elli as she walks between office and home.
Thanks kids.
I can see why you have been there 45 years.
ReplyDeleteNow I'd like to live on a tiny quiet island without the summer buzz.
DeleteIt is a truly beautiful island. I'm not sure I could handle all the socialising, (or some of the eating) but I could certainly give it a darned good try, if only for those views and the weather. Lovely photographs.
