Introducing what will be a series about my holiday in Greece.
INTRODUCTION
I am just back from a week in Greece, mainly in places without internet connections. I have huge numbers of photos to edit, so to keep things going for the moment I am presenting a selection from across the week, plus the return flight, on which I had a window seat.
THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The first few pictures here are from in and arouns Tseria, where I was staying.
This map is part of the decor of the shop from which my new Sandals came.
My new profile pic – me at the gateway to Methoni Castle.
The Bourtzi of Methoni.The bridge linking the main castle and the BourtziThe main castle from the BourtziA heraldic lion set into the stonework of the outer wall of the castle
The bath of Nestor, Pylos
House Martin nests, Agios NikolaosAn adult House Martin visits one of the nestsKarytaina CastleThe next three shots show water power – all taken at the open-air museum of water-power, Dimitsana
Two shots of Karytaina Castle from below
The first of four shots of the bridges over the Lousios.
The Alfios, the other river guarded by Karytaina
A tower between Tseria and Kalamata, the last picture taken from ground level to feature in this post.Even with 37,000 feet of vertical distance between me and it this bridge looked impressive.
Another fine bridge (two shots)
This aeroplane was flying at a lesser altitude than the Airbus A320 that I was aboardA stretch of French coastline.The approach to Britain – I believe we flew directly over Brighton, if the combination of a large pier and a major cricket ground (Sussex CCC’s HQ if I am correct) is anything to go on.
I am a founder member and currently secretary of the West Norfolk Autism Group and am autistic myself. I am a very keen photographer and almost every blog post I produce will feature some of my own photographs. I am an avidly keen cricket fan and often post about that sport.

I’m always interest3d to find blogposts about Greece. I have been to both Methoni and Pylos, by yacht. Your photos are very good. I’m returning to Greece again this week, we’ll be sailing around the Ionian islands for several months.
Thank you very much. There will be more pictures from Methoni later today as I tackle that visit next, and I have a few other detailed posts in the pipeline, although having been very busy ever since I got back from holiday I have not yet had time to finish editing all my photos.
Amazing photos.
