evening in firostefani, a photo from Kyklades, South Aegean

Photographer's Note

Firostefani Santorini: Firostefani lies to the north of Fira and there is little that separates it from it considerable larger neighbour. As with Fira the views from this part of Santorini are spectacular but the town are higher up so offer a different perspective of the volcano.
And of course one can enjoy the magnificent sight of Fira itself. It is a superb place to enjoy the sunset in the evening.

The village have restaurants from which one can also observe the sunset in its full glory.

Between the village of Firostefani and Imerovigli lies the Agios Nikolas Monastry.
The largeish building with its typically Cycladic rounded edges is open 8-12.30 and 16:00-19:00. Depending where you are inside you can look to the east side of the island or to the volcano and beyond.

As with Fira, Firostefani contain a number of hotels. Both are picturesque and have a nice blend of cream and white variations in the colouring of the houses. Away from the cliff side view Firostefani has a less stunning part as well. There are a few shops.

The people in picture giving a vivid virtue to the fabulous pic. Vojko.
Good use of shutter speed to avoid glare of bulbs, and the result is most impressive.
Fira is like fire - abd fabulous sunsets there...

hello Vojko. By far the most delightful photo from Greece you have posted yet. Mostly because of the blue hour, along with the warm sunset tones in the horizon in contrast with same hue on the buildings. Add to that a touch of street lights, and a distant man is staring at you taking this photo. Nice.

Hi Vojko,
it seems like you have captured it without a tripod here because the people are frozen. I am really impressed then. You have a great camera (I have the same :) ). I like very much the colors of the sky: from pink to blue.
Very nice capture,
M
