Mykonos

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.

Paradise Beach

You'll need to take a boat if you want to go to the cove of Super Paradise. Many nudists and gays make the trip. Paradise Beach itself is famous for the Tropicana Club disco and water sports.

He loves the camera, but not those who come up to him from behind. He'll hiss at them.

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.
