Rhodes, Greece
A marginal day at the south-east corner of the Aegean. High broken clouds,
temperature at the low end of t-shirt range. The light is too flat for good
photos - a good time to catch up on the previous few days' crop.
One of the local ex-pats told me the actual name of these huge shapely spreading
shade trees that are so ubiquitous in the old town: ficus.
Pronounced with
a short "i", as in biggus ficus.
Not to be confused with palm trees, especially date palms.
Photo Success
Some folks may have noticed that my camera tends to change red hibiscus blossoms
to yellow and / or orange. It has been a frustrating quirk in a place as hibiscful
as Rhodes.
I finally discovered how to prevent that! You may be seeing a disproportionate
number of red hibisci until I get over the novelty.
