A to just ten years ago, the first time we ever cruised in the Mediterranean. We hit a lot of ancient sites on that trip because there are a lot of them about and this photo from Mykonos was taken after exploring ruins on the nearby island of Delos.

A minimalist shot in portrait orientation, broadly featuring just two colours. It's a hot, bright, sunny day with not a cloud in the piercing blue sky that brightens to a white-blue glow near the top left, close to where the sun is throwing a few lens flares into the scene. The bottom of the image contains a building, typical of Greek islands with its thick walls plastered and painted white. The building is a rough-contoured wall at the back of a small church with a set of steps up to a flat area that leads to a doorway barely visible behind another wall in front. Two young women are standing on the flat surface, one mostly behind a wall but clearly posing for her friend who's aiming a point-and-click camera at her. The wall of the church is about twice the woman's height where she's standing but it rises up twice that to a small niche that opens up and appears to hold a bell within its space.

There's not a cloud in the piercingly blue sky on this hot day. There are low buildings and walls around a sloping bit of stone-paved land, all of them painted and plastered in white, typical of Greek structures in the Mediterranean. Tourists gather near a wide opening in the nearest wall on the right and their guide holds a Greek flag on a pole to help them keep track of his position. Motorbikes and cars are parked on the sloping area behind the wall and there's a bar with some awnings stretched out in front just behind the tourists. The name "Zorba's" is written in large black lettering on the upper part of the low building. Just beyond another low wall that runs around the top of the sloped parking area we can see five small windmills, one of them largely hidden by some other buildings. Each windmill is cylindrical, with thick white walls and a thatched, conical roof. Twelve, long, thin poles form the shape of the windmill blades but there are no sails mounted between them, leaving
