Bravo! Or probaby, in Greek, μπράβο

Two from Chania this morning- same view a few minutes apart

Orange and purple sunrise clouds over a dark hillside

Dark pink sunrise over a dark hill with city lights

End of the season (for us, and only 2 nights left for them) at Galileo, our favorite bar/restaurant in the Old Harbor. Our friend Manolis in the dark distance.

Cocktail and beer on a table with the lights of Old Town Chania across the way.

There seems to be a little shower, off to the left, towards the end of the clip :)

Heat wave yesterday with an annoying, hot, dry wind which this morning has changed to a cool and quite strong wind. Sunny, though. Not supposed to get into the 80s for the next few days (26ish).

Spike and Dru!

We did this, too, in Greece! Couldn’t find a way to watch for free, but got the Dodgers radio call on ESPN radio starting in around the 14th inning and wow!

(American ex-pat in Greece, whispers: what a great game it was, too!)

Odd cloud in the east tonight, over Chania. Well, southeast, I guess.

Large pink cloud over a city skyline and a dark hill

Ροδωπος is hiding in front of a line of clouds this evening. Chania, Crete.

Almost clear sunset over a small fisherman’s port

You’d think we’d be getting rain here in Chania, wouldn’t you? But apparently not. All these looking north from town.

Rainy, dark skies over a medieval bastion

Same as previous

Rainy skies over a rocky seawall and the Aegean

Good morning, Chania. Same shot, different zoom

Blue grey sky over a pink sunrise, over a dark hill

Same sunrise, zoomed in to bring out the pink rays

Saw a little girl (5?) the other day. Girl was wearing a tutu and some comic book character T, and carrying the cutest toy chain saw which I didn’t know was even a thing. It was a foot, maybe 1.5 long I’d say. Made my day. We are in Greece, and my Greek isn’t up to “Love your chain saw!”, sadly

Pink and orange sunrise with some clouds over a city skyline

The house was closed for renovation last time we hauled over there. Maybe time to go again.

From the ancient acropolis of Sami, Kefalonia

View of green mountains with the Ionian Sea in the distance

Morning and night over Chania

Orange morning sky over a city

Moon over the same city

Rainbow over the Aegean, Chania

Rainbow with grey and white clouds, over a small rock sea wall

Evening over Chania

Rainy looking clouds at sunset over a city skyline, behind which is a dark mountain range

I suspect that Ms Markle would be glad to know that (see alt text for context).

This reminds me, in a good way, of the woodcut illustrations in my editions of the Earthsea trilogy by le Guin

Good morning, Chania
