Beyond is Mykonos Town Harbor and the shot was taken from the windmills. The several restaurants are a great place to have a drink and stare at the Aegean.

John Linton

John Linton has been a member since 17 April 2008 and goes by ride0583.

Currently in sufferable.

I am a retired secondary teacher (32 years) who spent his childhood developing his skills as a military brat while the family moved from one location to another. I attended Gorham State College to avoid the draft, somehow graduated with a teaching degree in the Social Studies, was hired by the Westerly School Department in 1970, and have lived in Westerly, RI ever since. When people ask me what I do now I tell them "Nothing," but I do dabble in photography and travel whenever I can.
