We were in Greece last Friday staying near Mount Athos, seen on the left of the photo with the tower of Ouranapolis just visible on the right. We had stayed at Eagles Palace last year so this was a return visit and we had ample opportunity to sit on our balcony and
skywatch. Swallows had built a nest in a corner of the balcony ceiling and there was a great deal of coming and going.
Oh, the joy of being in a warm climate after our long and very wet winter!
This week have been in Cambridge staying with family for a lovely catch-up. Guess what? Splodges on the camera lens - it was raining!
But it takes more than a downpour of rain to spoil Cambridge!
Lovely cloud shots!!!
ReplyDeleteThe hotel is perched up high, hence it's name - plenty of opportunity for sky watching!
DeleteWe too were staying in the same area of Greece at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI trust you had an equally warm and pleasant holiday, Rosemary. Last year we were here so that Himself could visit Mount Athos, something that He had wanted to do since childhood. This year we did nothing more than lie in the sun!
DeleteSince I accidentally left the comment for these beautifully done shots on you garden post (oops) I must say your garden is beautiful. And the vegetables are looking pretty good for the conditions. Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteThe veg are having a bit of a battle against weather and slugs!
DeleteBeautiful photos of the sky !
ReplyDeleteLots of sky and no rain - bliss!
DeleteWhat lovely Greek skies!
ReplyDeleteWe were lucky, apparently the week before had been dull and damp. We arrived at the airport in a rainfall but had left it behind by the time we arrived at the hotel. Phew!
DeleteWelcome back! Thanks for sharing the blue skies! (And grey ones too.)
ReplyDeleteNice to be welcomed home, Wildside.
DeleteSometime I shall get to Cambridge and photograph it in the sun - punting, picnics etc... Just don't hold your breath!
Oh my gosh. I don't know which place is prettier! Beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteThey are totally different places, one incredibly stimulating, the other incredibly relaxing. (Nice to have a bit of both!)
