Six months ago, our educational traveling group went to Athens and island hopped in the Aegean Sea. I’m sure I took over a hundred photos, but only shared a few. If you missed the original posts, I linked them at the end. I enjoy looking at summer shots during the winter and vice versa. They always stir a memory. Here are 5 + 10 shots you haven’t seen.
Which ones resonate with you?

Such a lovely place. Greece is one of the countries I have not visited during my travelling years and it’s obvious I missed a real treat.

Nice to see the iconic Mykonos windmills shot from behind. That’s untypical, and good to see them from that angle.
The table on the beach reminds me of a restaurant where we used to eat in Bodrum, Turkey. We always took a table right at the water’s edge, with a view across to the harbour.
Nice memories of a warm summer, Cindy.
Best wishes, Pete.

Pete, that’s exactly what we did, too. Right to the edge. Living in the high desert, now, the water is more precious and intoxicating.

Thank you, Kim! It was a dream come true. I hardly remember the long plane rides. I prefer to stare at the blue layers of the water.

Only in my imagination! If I ever get the chance to go back, I’m going to explore the lesser-populated islands. Spend the month of July somewhere far from the maddening crowd. That’s my imagination talking, too. Thanks, JC.

The color of the water in #9, #10 and #11 is unreal. So beautiful. My other favorites are #1-8 and #12 – 15. 😉
Excellent photography, this is definitely one of the categories I voted for in the poll you posted on your recent blogiversary post 😀

You know when you stare at something so beautiful, as you focus on it, you can’t believe your actually seeing it. The color of the water is my favorite part about the Aegean/Greece. I love photography because of the challenge of trying to capture something glorious. Then the warmth you create inside of yourself when you stumble upon the image 6 months later. Thanks, Tom for voting, too. I’m glad you liked them all. You’re the best. Next summer I’m going to Spain. I can’t wait to take pictures there! The Moorish influences, the architecture, more water….

Thanks, John. I remember when I lived in Scotland, many UK friends loved to visit Greece/Islands for holiday because of the sun and because it was cheap. Have you been to Greece?

Time flies. It doesn’t seem five minutes since you were back from your trip and looking at your photographs I realised it’s over 30 years since I holidayed in Rhodes. The beach shots are my favourite of this selection. They brought back some happy memories!

Hi Paul. I remember you commenting on the original set and I remember you saying Rhodes was your family hangout. Wow. I can’t believe it’s been six months, either. As you you can see, the beaches are still beautiful–I think it’s time you and yours took a holiday 😉

I’ve been told by a few that you go to the islands not the mainland. It would be interesting to find out about the less populated islands.
