Some preliminary photos from my trip to Crete.
This was a wet winter and cool spring leading to a mega bloom year.
From the phone.

Historical sites and views from the tops of hills make my day.

You did some serious biking!

thanks for posting the photos. I always like looking at them.

To the man behind the curtain...
It is a small alter. These little churches are all over and formally used about once per year, on the day of the Saint.
I couldn't identify the saint for this church
