Rhodes Town, Greece
Canon Bawl
My trusty, long-serving, hard-working Canon Powershot has gone lame on
me.
Cataracts - more likely scratches - in the lens, bad smudges in the
pictures. So out to pasture it goes, with appreciation for long
plentiful service.
This post is the first flight of my new Olympus (Oh jeez - what
else in
Greece?) X-930 point-'n-shoot.
A room with a view, out my window at The Walk Inn on Dorieos Square in
the old town.
Taking shameless advantage of one of today's few flashes of sunlight. A
sub-optimal day to test a camera, but that is what we have.
I love the names in this place; the square feeds through a gate on the
south
side to Homer Street (Odos Omirou), on the west side is Saint
Fanourios (Odos Agiou Fanouriou ). I can march down to Fanourio,
so to
speak, at a moment's notice
if I choose. From the north and east, you get here through Plato and
Sophocles Streets.
Homer, Sophocles and Fanourios are paved with large pebbles (sadly
without embedded mosaics). Plato is a significant commercial street,
paved with flat stone blocks. The pebble paving is useful when it
rains; the water runs between the pebbles, allowing some degree
of traction on the tops of them.
A walk at dusk down to the front gate and the harbor.
That is Jupiter setting over the left guard tower. Venus is doing
morning
star duty right now.
Indoor Language Fun.
Broccoli is just recognizable through the filter of language and
alphabet.
