The perfectly clear and still warm Mediterranean Sea meets the isle of Rhodes in the late October sun. So quiet, so peaceful. Only a few people with me at the beach. Lovely.

The setting October sun causes a long shadow of myself. Another warm ans sunny day at the beach ends soon.

Another series continues
For me, pics like this never get boring. Summer day sunset beach pic with appropriate drink available. Mythos is aleady well known from various Acropolis Rallye trips in the past year and it always reminds me on Greek summer nights.

The series continues
As I told on similar pictures earlier, an aim-in-life-series of mine is taking pictures like this in as many places as possible. This time: Φαληράκι/Ῥόδος

Faliraki
This photo was taken in downtown Faliraki.
Faliraki shares the fate of other tourist towns. Transformed from a fishing village into a conglomerate of taverns, pubs, night clubs and shops full of junk goods. Almost dead at day and shiny and funky at night times. Surrounded by hotels, full of tourists. It is pretty much the same as what I have seen in Loutraki, which hosted the Acropolis Rallye in the last years. Completely different to the small villages we found in Attika or on the Peleponnes. Anyway – still Greece, still sunny!

Suburban
I can’t explain why, but this is one thing i like about greece. The dreary atmosphere created by wan light, heat, dryness and abandoned buildings everywhere.

Heading for Rhodes City
On the way to downtown Rhodes on a nice and warm afternoon. In some parts public transport on Rhodes reminds me on public transport of my hometown Jena in the late 1980 GDR times. Not air conditioned high-floor busses, open windows and warm air draughts through the vehicle while the low sun shines in your face. The engine roars under the hot floor and you can feel every vibration coming through. Driving like crazy, the driver does not even stop before opening the doors when approaching a bus stop. The air pressured doors are opening undamped with a loud clash. In some busses it felt like time traveling back into my childhood. And it felt like summer. Already miss it!

Beach time
Snapshot taken on my daily ride to the beach. Just in case you are still wondering: Yeah, I really like how you can do nearly everything by bike or train on Usedom. No need for a car during vacation.

This ain’t California
Was not aware that Germany is having its own oil business. I got the hint on Twitter and decided to do a nice bicycle ride through the island’s outback to find the oil pumps on the Gnitz peninsula. Unusual view for Germany. The last time I had a similar view, was in Inglewood/L.A.
