Delos

We took a day trip to the island of he island of Delos (Greek: Δήλος, [ˈðilos]) now with no permanent human habitation but originally a sacred center for Greek culture colonized by the Ionians around the time of 1000 BC or so. Due to the ferry schedules it was impossible to arrive for picture taking when we had dramatic lighting, but even so the island was a fascinating location to see and photograph.

Lonely Post
church perches upon a rocky cliff as we leave the island of Delos. I couldn't help but wonder about the significance of the cross to the right of the church.
