Boats of Thirassia island Photo

Photographer’s Note

A small island opposite Oia; a bit of the once round island that was Santorini before the explosion of 1500 b.C. Along with Oia, it forms the northern entrance of the caldera. Its extent is 9 square klm and it has 150 permanent residents.
Thirassia is a typical cycladic village with a way of life as it used to be before the invasion of tourism. Tiny houses of various colours give a special character to these small settlements. Few people and fewer tourists stroll around the narrow streets and what is plenty here is calmness, traditional timing and natural life.

Hi Oleg,

Wonderful picture! The boats are lined up perfectly and the shot is sharp and crisp. There's a bit of noise in the sky, but that's about it.. The mountains in the distance are subtle, yet beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
