Rhodes, Greece
It is after midnight, so technically today is Groundhog Day where they
have such a thing. For me, it is still the tail end of February first,
and all of these pictures are from the first afternoon in February, except the first
which was early morning. Here we go.
A cat outside my window in the dawn's early light.
Some
stranger's laundry drying between home and the little supermarket.
There is also a big supermarket, out in the new city, but they call
themselves a hypermarket.
Language inflation on an island - sigh.
Old & New Time Religion
The one functioning mosque in the old city - at least its lovely white
minaret - framed by the ancient Christian basilica of St Michael. (I
think that is its name . been a while since I learned it.)
Can good light make a good picture out
of a banal subject? I thought it did OK with somebody's mailbox here.
Mother Nature dances her long slow
dance in the old city.
Herakles Star and Herakles 1, of the Herakles tugboat brothers. I
think there is also a Herakles 3.
We last saw Herakles Star, the partly-white one, a few posts ago, pushing a monster
cruise ship out of its berth at the harbor.
A harbor cat in the late afternoon.
A closed tourist shop just inside
the old city gate at the commercial harbor.
Reflections of a crenellated battlement in the harbor.
A topped palm tree by the back wall of
the Grandmaster's Palace.
So welcome to February, when the weather here is supposed to get as nasty as it ever does.
So far on this cold sparkling starry moonless night, it hasn't. The Black family are out and about: Sirius, Regulus and Bellatrix are all beaming down onto my front porch.
I'm in
no hurry for that to change, 'cept maybe for the "cold" part.
