Windmills at dusk

Tourists like so much to take pictures of the setting sun, and flock in thousands to a special place on the west coast wher the view over ther horizon is open and clear. However the approaching darkness delivers its best show in the villages, where the fading sunlight gradually leaves room for the artificial lights of the lampposts and of the restaurant signs. Here the silhouette of an old windmill in the town of Oia stands out against the reddish sunset sky.
