Location City -  Santorini
State - 
Country - Greece   Greece
About Santorini is one of the most magical islands of Greece. It is a barren, rocky island just opposite a volcano, with black and red beaches and towns situated on high cliffs offering breathtaking views and fantastic sunsets. Santorini has a dramatic beauty as opposed to lush and green islands.
The volcano is still active, and the last eruption was in 1950, causing an earthquake that destroyed many villages on the island. The island's official name is Thira and its main town, Fira, is also the capital of the Cyclades islands.

Especially for my dear Greek friends Marian and John....it was the most beautiful place!!
But also a big HELLO to all my friends..I missed you all:))

HI Roger!

Yes you are right with the caldera....it is a volcanoe but also an island:)
I was there only for one day cause we did a cruise,but it was not the last time.So sorry to hear that you had no luck with your hotel.I know some very good ones.If you want to go one more time just ask me:))!
Thank you for your nice comment.
Best to you,
Nicole

hmm I thought Santorini was a caldera.. ie the entire island and the other little bits around it, are the remnants of a huge volcanoe.. our visit there was spoilt by a crummy hotel.. a long way away from most of the views.. and the buses.. insane but yeah Paros Mykonos and especially Crete I would return to

My Dear Friend Nicole(The Master)!
Thanks so much that you bring me one of the my youngest years memories. Beautiful Santorini. When I was 18 I was a candidate officer in commercial navy. I was there with a cruising ship. But my feet never touched. Being there. But looking from distance.
Perfect shot in classic Aegean style. High level clarity and sharpness. Very good white balancing with warm tones of SAntorini Island.
Thanks for your share my dear friend.
I wish a very best weekend to the aunty of Fritzi.
Ali

Hi dear Nicole!
No, I unfortunately have never been there, but I have seen many pictures, especially yours which really tempts the viewer to visit this heavenly place. It looks magic.
The weather is a bit too warm, but bearable. I was hoping for it to rain today, but alas. I think I must migrate to the North Pole in the summer :)
Have a great evening you too, my dear friend. So good to see you back.

I hope that you have also nice weather in Lausanne??

Hi Tim :)
Yes you are right I did a cruise through the Mediterranean Sea! I saw Dubrovnik, Katakolon, Corfu, Santorini, Malta, Kusadasi (Turkey), Sicily and Rome where we stayed for four more days. Just great!!!!! Very hot though) Indeed Santorini was my favorite place, so very beautiful and quiet. The buildings are all white and than the domes (and they have a lot from them) are all blue!! It looks fantastic against the blue sky!! Your photographer heart is very lucky…LOL!! And to left this beautiful island is indeed very hard :). With the camera I had first also my problems with the colors but I think that I managed this now. I still have to learn with this camera because is very different from my Canon. Some settings are not as they have to be, that I saw here at home by some pictures. I have still problems with portraits; the background is good in focus but not the person. When I have more persons they are not very sharp. I guess that something with my settings is wrong. Hope that it will work soon
Have a nice day,
Nicole

Hi Nicole,

I see you are up and traveling and that your newish camera is bringing forth many new and super images. Lovely perspective of a Island that I am sure is hard to leave. How has the camera been for you so far? I have to say that mine has taken a long time to tweak color wise and I am still working out its quirks.

What a magical place! It looks STUNNING! I must go there! Beautiful photograph, Nicole, but I would suggest cloning out the highlight on the left dome... it detracts from the beautiful exposure in the rest of the image. I've done it below, hope you don't mind. A 7 from me.
