Views of the Acropolis
The first thing I noticed while in Athens is how you see the Acropolis rising above the city every time you turn around. (It made me think of Paris, where you see the Eiffel Tower every time you turn around.)
Here are a few of the views I captured.

Through My Lens: Sea Squill on Serifos
One advantage of travelling solo, I (re)discovered this past fall, is that nobody gets impatient when you stop to take yet another photo. It took me several tries to get a shot I was happy with of this plant, which I came across one day while wandering the hillsides of Serifos, a Cycladic island in the Aegean Sea. (I’ve since learned that the plant is called a sea squill.)
I have lots more photos to share from my month in the Mediterranean.
Let’s get started.
