Winter

 Most days the sun shines.  Lucky for us. Our hot water is heated by solar panels.  In the summer the water is boiling. In winter there are very few days when it's not hot/warm enough for a shower. 


Empty beaches



Sometimes it rains




But mostly the sun will shine
Winter sun.  Sun 'With teeth' they say here


There are a few winter swimmers but they don't sit around to sunbathe afterwards


One water taxi waiting to cross the strait 


A virtually empty yacht harbour
Blue skies and blue sea


The car ferry coming in from the mainland village of Galatas
No lines of vans and trucks
A few motorbikes and cars and foot passengers like me

  1. Even your winters are lovely. Currently we have thunderstorms and it’s the summer solstice

  2. Mostly grey skies here, with folk in gloves and scarves. Anyway, as long as it doesn't rain too much we're quite happy.

  4. I suppose rain is a welcome change? or not? Winter solstice here and the nights should start drawing out, minute by minute.

  5. Lovely scenery even in Winter, one of your photos reminds me of Queenstown, it's similar looking. It's meant to be summer here but it's still very gloomy, hope you have a lovely xmas.
