I love this shot of the Greek island of Santorini, taken in 1939. It shows the smoking cone of New Kameni, a small islet being formed from the active volcano that created the island.
Some sixty plus years later, the cone isn't smoking right now, but the views are as stunning as ever.
and I take in the view of Nea Kameni from my balcony.
Oh what fun Amanda. I can only imagine.
ReplyDeleterelaxing panorama from a balcony!
ReplyDeleteI wonder wheather the volcano is still active but now dreaming?
The volcano is just blowing off smoke, so I guess you could call that dreaming! xo
Deleteto think of land formed like this (more or less) in our time! and here we are inside these bodies upon stone. incredible. and humbling.
ReplyDeletesuch travel with your son - i can only imagine:)
I can't imagine how catastrophic the eruption must have been.....legend has it that sea salt from the tsunami was found hundreds of miles inland in the Egyptian desert...
DeleteWhat beautiful scenery. I really hope to make it to Santorini some day.
