Postcard from Greece
Oia, Santorini
Early morning, the best light, before the crowds.
I have just returned from an amazing trip around Greece. We visited Athens, Santorini, Crete, Delos, Mykonos, Rhodes, Patmos, the Peloponnese Peninsula, and Thessaloniki.
I took thousands of photographs. From the thousands I have chosen just ten for this blog. These are my favourites for different reasons. I have provided a brief reason why I chose these ten under each image.

Pella, Thessaloniki
The detail of the pillar against abstract clouds.
Royal Tombs of Aigai, Vergina
What do you do when there are people obstructing a clear shot? Make them part of the image.
Mystras, Peloponnese
I love the detail and expression on the nun’s face. The black habit brings emphasis to the face.
Meteora, Thessaly
Emphasising scale - combining the detail of the monastery and the rocks all around.
Mykonos
Balancing light, colour and shape.
Monemvasia
Looking for interest in intersecting shapes and lines.
Mystras, Peloponnese
Small details can tell a story.
Thessaloniki
Architectural detail - light and repetition.
Patmos
Capturing drama.
