Places: Photography
I often do not travel with a camera, and even when I have one with me
I often forget to take any photographs, as I am so fascinated
by the place or the people I am talking to.
Looking through a viewfinder lens you miss so much and
restricts your view, and as someone once said to me which
is probably true I have an incredible visual memory

Amazing you could still take a shot in Mykonos then without the crowds, people everywhere,
Though still much busier even then, than the first time I was there
and backpacked around the Mediterranean with a friend
Horse riding stables Mykonos 2003 not that I rode there just walked past
I am probably going to set up another section in places or on the photography menu
for Ephesus and maybe for Mykonos or several of the Cyclades and Olympos, Turkey. I seem to have many photographs
from my last trip the ones before and the first time I travelled round the Mediterranean with a friend
Leonardo da Vinci statue, Milan 2003
Ampitheatre, Ephesus 2003
Still working on more images and separate sections for some.
Well & graffiti, Venice 2003
Find this shot interesting because of the contrast, Renaissance well, corrugated fence and graffitti
Istanbul 2003
Olympos, Turkey ruins in the trees 2003
Amazing place a whole ancient Greek city overgrown with trees,
it also has above in the side of a mountain fires burning that have for the last 2,5000 years,
when I was there I was told it was one place in myth where Hephaestus, smith to the Greek gods
and husband to Aphrodite had his forge, apparently another legend says it is Chimera which Homer mentions in The Iliad.
Though the bit about the Chimera, I only just learned looking up the spelling for Hephaestus.
Sky arch Ephesus 2003
This is in the Ephesus section I am working on, it makes me think of some of James Turrell's work,
the land art pieces, framing the big blue.
