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.

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

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.

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.

Rhodes port
After all the trips to Greece in the past years, one thing was still missing: a picture of a typical Greek style windmill. Ticked this box with this one. Not in the typical rural area where you would expect windmills. This is one of the three windmills located at the port of Rhodes town. More a mixture of Greek style and tourism style. Anyway, I like the outcome of the picture. Not bad for midday sun.
