  • Sunset fun

    Of all the photographs I took during the Rhodes trip, this is my absolute favourite.

    Same location as on the previous post.

  • Dancing in the light

    Did an evening trip to downtown Rhodes as it was the easiest way to have access to a west coast beach. Luckily it was perfect timing and one of the prettiest sunsets I have ever seen in my live. More to come. 

  • Lindos

    One of hundreds of narrow streets in the village of Lindos/Rhodes. An example for the beauty of this place, All the white houses, some of them with gardens or restaurants on their roofs, tiny streets, mosaic pavements on some places and visible from nearly every point: the Acropolis in the back.

    I guess this place is crowded in mid season which may lead to a stressfull trip. But end of October things calm down and the few visitors spread in the streets. It is not that hard to find a quiet place to enjoy the atmosphere.

  • Columns

    Ever tried to think about Greece without getting a pic of columns in your mind? Impossible for me. Ancient Greek architecture has always been part of my picture about Greece. Being at an archaeological site brings up a question in me: What if this stones could speak about what they have seen in all those years?

    I also like the clean visual appearence of Doric columns used for the temples of the Acropolis in Lindos/Rhodes. Here especially in contrast to the straight horizon given by the Mediterranean Sea around.

  • Temple of Athena Pt. II

    Another picture of the Temple of Athena on top of the Acropolis of Lindos/Rhodes. An interesting archaeological site and absolutely worth to visit. 

  • Temple of Athena

    Picture of a Temple in strong backlight high above the Mediterranean Sea. The well restored Temple of Athena is part of the Acropolis of Lindos (Rhodes).

  • Greece

    Nothing much to tell. Greek flag infront of Acropolis of Lindos. The colours of Greece’s flag are perfectly matching the blue sea and the white walls of many buildings.

  • Faliraki coast line

    Area view of the coast line near the town of Faliraki. 

  • Rhodes roadside view

    Roadside view. Taken on a bus ride along the coast line.

  • Pavement

    Fascinated by the large pavement areas in the historic city centre of Rhodes and how these pacements are made, I did this detailed picture of the pepples used for it.
