Bella Amicizia - on Mykonos

Changing environment. Changing palette. Mykonos, Greece.




Captivated by the Cycladic light. Dazzling white emphasized by daubs of pastel colours.


The Aegean sea from my window. A strong wind following me from early morning into late night.




Visiting a dear friend.












My little "party camera" taking in the cubical, whitewashed folk architecture.



Closing its eye to the brick-à-brack souvenir shops along the labyrinthian lanes of the Chora.
My friend taking me back stage.....



To a family festa in one of the countryside parish churches....



To back street hole-in-the-wall restaurants or a lagoon in the wilds. Paying friens a visit and...



guiding me among the remains of the mythical island of Delos. Bella amicizia! Getting to know un unfamiliar place through the eyes of a dear friend is just right.


Next week off for Stockholm. Change of scene - again. Except.... here I can go blindfolded. Enjoy the rest of August, wherever you are! Bacione, Ingrid.
