Hi Vasilis
now this is making me hate the English winter even more. A stunning capture of a stunning island. Can feel the warmth and taste the oregano on my large slab of feta! A flawless execution and tantalising presentation......big "sigh" Beautiful!

Enjoy the weekend - Brian.

Για σου Βασίλη
οταν βλέπω τις φωτογραφίες σου ταξιδεύω
πάντα και αναπολώ διακοπές,τι όμορφη
λήψη πραγματικά,οί κόκκινες σκεπές
των σπιτιών και το βαθύ μπλε της
θάλασσας είναι καταπλητκικά
καλό βράδυ
Costantino
