Rhodes Town, Greece
End of the Rhodes
It is my last night in Rodhos for now. I sail tomorrow evening on the
overnight ferry to Pireas and Athens, then fly home on the 20th for the
month of February. If I pass the Big Bad Thrombosis tests, I'll be back
on this side of The Big Ditch (as the WW2 moves used to call it)
by mid-March.
Early morning moon and cat.
Night time lasers outside a disco bar.
It has got to be a worrisome life to be a tourist oriented restaurateur
in the off season.
This fellow is obviously a waiter. He
is almost surely the owner as well, because he could not afford
to pay an employee on the business he gets at this time of year. He
doesn't look happy and I can't blame him.
My local friendly "self-service" (in the Greek island sense)
laundromat. Those framing ruins belong to the early christian Basilica
of St. Michael.
The Old City Moat by Wanlight
The sun is playing hide and seek behind the cirrus clouds. Let's see what we can find anyway.
This is the first picture I have ever "photoshopped". (Actually GIMPed
- GNU Image Manipulation Program.)
The cloudy indirect light made a flat boring color picture, but a
pretty good black & white one.
'Tis the stairs leading down into the moat from the "San Francisco"
city gate. The color pics look above and through the gate.
So... that is the Rhodes' end, so to speak, for now. Maybe the end of
these posts until March - depends on what pictures I find in
Athens and how much time and energy I have for them. I've been fighting
off a sinus cold for a couple of days, successfully so far.
