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 Bourtzi
The main castle from the Bourtzi
A heraldic lion set into the stonework of the outer wall of the castle
The bath of Nestor, Pylos
House Martin nests, Agios Nikolaos
An adult House Martin visits one of the nests
Karytaina Castle
The 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 aboard
A 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.
