Rhodes – Cindy Bruchman

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.

12. Rhodes North Beach III — 11. Rhodes North Beach III

16. Good bye, Athens. — 15. Goodbye, Athens.

Which ones resonate with you?

Rhodes, northern beach on the windy, west side.

The-Colossus-of-Rh_3534739b — Colossus, one of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World

Over 2,000 years ago an earthquake shook and destroyed the ancient wonder of Colossus. I saw this article written in 2015 which claims architects are planning to reconstruct it, 3x larger than the original. You can read The Telegraph article HERE

Now a stag and doe stand where once straddled the Greek titan-god of the sun Helios, by Chares of Lindos in 280 BC.

No alterations or photoshop. I swear it’s this layered, this blue.

A pebbled beach on the calm side (east) of Rhodes where it was easy to float like a bobber.

It’s a wild ride on the west side of the island.

Walking on the west side, select a spot on uncrowded beaches.

The east side has the resorts and the touristy areas. This picture is on the west side, and its villages and beaches are uncommercialized. I think it’s because it’s too windy to swim calmly, yet, this is the side I’d easily spend a summer hanging out with the locals.
