As I write, millions upon millions of Americans are munching on epic amounts of nachos, chips, buffalo wings, pizza, and assorted other snacks, and washing them down with a variety of mostly "adult" beverages.  It is, after all, Superbowl Sunday.  There are quite a few Americans who are doing other things, including working to provide the pizzas and wings, not to mention security for the big game.  For us, it is pretty much like any other day - doing some preemptive laundry before the snowy week ahead (when there will be less solar gain) and working with photographs and wool.   The extent of our participation will be to check out the game commercials on YouTube tomorrow.

February is that limbo time of year when the ground is still frozen and the only evidence of spring waiting in the wings is wind.  Thus, many people choose to explore warmer climates.  Here are some shots from the island of Santorini, Greece, scanned from slides, full of warmth, color, and complexity, in the event you are in need.




This shot reminds me of an architectural model.





until next Monday,

  1. I am in need thanks to you. Some friend. These are charming and, indeed, the hillside of blue and white houses do seem like an architectural model. Those blues do echo the azure sea don't they?

    1. Hey, what are friends for? Truly, Santorini is one of those places we would visit again and again. You can hardly take a bad photograph.
