On my last day in Santorini, I entered one of these churches — the famous blue-domed Saint Theodore. My plan was to take a few last photos of Fira and its sunsets, and walking through its winding streets, I happened to come upon this view — the magnificent Saint Theodore Church in early evening sunlight. The view was all the more special because I knew my time in Santorini was coming to an end, and like all visitors to the island, I was completely charmed by the place.
As it happened, I didn’t capture one of Fira’s vivid sunsets that day. But what I did capture was all of the essential elements of Santorini in one image — its pastel-hued architecture against black, volcanic cliffs and the deep blue of the sea. And there’s something here, I hope, of the strength and faith of its residents. As for that last sunset – now I have a good reason to go back.
Most of the Greece islands are charming. They have beautiful view of sea, white and blue colored houses, tasty sea foods.
Wow, it’s such a great angle, different from the common ones. It looks like a painting. And your description is so poetic :D
Beautiful view and description!
Do you know that there's a lot of resort here in the Philippines trying to copy the beauty of Santorini.
