Postcards from the Underworld: Santorini Then and Now


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. 
 
My son and I enjoy peering over the edge on a recent trip,

and I take in the view of Nea Kameni from my balcony.
