Kicking off again after moving to our new apartment with this spectacular view from our balcony. We are being battered by thunderstorms the last weeks, and this evening when i was doing some work on my computer i saw this sucker rolling in from the North Sea through the window of our new computer room. Immediately whipped out my cam and ran out :)

Some more to follow.

A little b/w experiment. This is the chapel of Agios Nikolaos (or Saint Nicholas) in the village of Georgioupolis, Crete, Greece. It is built on a rocky island about 100 meters into the sea. Saint Nicholas is the patron saint of sailors, and this chapel was built in his honor, to protect the fishermen of the village on their journeys out to sea, and to provide a place for family to pray for their safe return.

Got a little church thing going on. This time it’s the Panagia Trimartiris in Chania, Crete, Greece. The present cathedral was built on the site of an older church dedicated to the virgin Mary.

A night-time capture of the entrance of the Agios Spiridonas church in Samos town, on the isle of Samos, Greece. Above the entrance it says ‘Alexandros Pasxalis 1909′. It was in this church on the 11th of November 1912 that the representatives of the people of Samos unanimously voted the unification of the island with Greece.
