The Greek Islands had already become a favourite holiday destination for me when in 1996 I was made redundant and found myself with time on my hands and sufficent money in the bank to spend part of the summer travelling around the Aegean Sea. I sold my car and booked a flight on British airways to Athens Airport and thence to Pireaus ferry port.

Santorini/Thira Sunset

Santorini, or Thira as it is also known, is noted for its spectacular sunsets and during my stay I spent several evenings at different locations around the island's capital (also called Thira) trying to capture the constantly changing hues on film.









This picture is probably my favorite, the small sailing vessel entering the caldera somehow is evocative of the Greek islands and helps to give scale to the image.
