    Is there a more gorgeous blue than that you find near the Aegean? No! Looks like a wonderful time.

    Each photo is incredible in and of itself but for some reason I am drawn to the last one in this series. There's something about this dilapidated boat that holds the promise of stories of yesterday.

    Great photos. The ruins look so pristine and sharp. The dilapidated boats are an interesting contrast.

    Rocks and rocks and more rocks / Big rocks,little rocks/ Rocks of every kind /Carved rocks,natural rocks/ Rocks that still stand/ Rocks across the barren land/ rocks on the ground/ rocks that have fallen down/ Rocks of renown.
