Rhodes harbour. Mandraki. The weather was not quite good. larger image (316 kb) |
More Mandraki. To the right large ship from Dane Sea Line which might or might not be Danish. Not reproduced: the sad whine (probably ship wall grating against harbour wall) that hung over the town all day. larger image (308 kb) |
One of three small towers (and a very small castle) guarding Mandraki's Southern side. larger image (336 kb) |
Leaping sea. There was lots of it. Not reproduced: car-park behind orthodox church that's underwater during storms. (People leave their cars there at all times, nonetheless. Also only free car park in Rhodes City.) larger image (380 kb) |
If it hadn't tumbled into the sea at some point, this is where the colossus would be standing now. These days, they have deer. larger image (228 kb) |

OK, I did photograph a lot of water. There was the problem with the memory stick, though ... larger image (228 kb) |
Small pool off the Kalithea thermes. The flood ( or ebb) sucks the water from it and then pushes it pack in in a leisurely but persistent rhythm. Nice. Of course, with some sort of Image Tank, this one could have been a video. larger image (228 kb) |

Symi harbor. Bad weather again. All the tourists come here. *darn* (Yes, it is quaint and dimpled with merchantile history. Nice neoclassical architecture, as well. But all you can do between the boat arriving and leaving again is fight of a couple of sponge-dealers. larger image (280 kb) |
Incredibly clear water (did I mention this before?). larger image (272 kb) |
