Rhodes, Greecce
Imagery - November 2022
No theme or message tonight. Just the sights of wandering around the increasingly wintery city of Rhodes
a few weeks ago.
Tonight, both Jupiter and Mars blaze in the midnight sky, amongst the
bright winter stars. No pictures of that here - I am not set up for astro-photography.
OTOH the daytime stuff isn't bad. Here we go!
Eye of the beholder!
OK.
Context matters!
And point of view!
Waves in the water!
If you take the schlocky souvenirs literally, the ancient Colossus of Rhodes would have
stood with his feet where those two deer statues are. He'd have dreaded the occasional tall-masted ship!
Serious historians think this is unlikely;
they put him with both feet together on one side or the other of the harbor entrance.
Overnight to Piraeus!
Balls to the wall in the medieval moat.
A little residential street inside the old city wall.
A family with a porpoise in life.
Partly cloudy.
Winter light in the Wood Between The Worlds, my name (after C. S. Lewis) for the park-like strip
between the modern city and the medieval moat and walls.
Sunset behind St Spyridon's Byzantine church.
