Out of the Jurisdiction: Mykonos

Mykonos is overrun with tourists.  It is hard to take photographs that have not been taken many times before and probably better.  So, here are a couple of the usuals and an attempt to be different.


White, white and more white.  And blue, some provided by man but most by Mother Nature.


It was windy and choppy.  This was taken near the point at the end of the old town.


I liked the play of light and shadows.


Many winding streets are lined with whitewashed stores and brightly painted doors.
There is a never-ending flood of tourists, but I waited for a moment when there was a brief pause.


Old windmills at the end of the old town are favorite targets of tourist cameras.

As my dad would have said, "you done good". These are great shots.

I like the way photo #2 looks as if the ocean is about to come up to where you had the camera...good choice on the angle towards waves and town.

Fine photos, especially the windmills.

It's all so picturesque. Yes, hard to get a 'new' angle but the old angles are all still worth seeing.

A beautiful place, as you expect. The windmills are quite different from what I'm used to.

It is a beautiful place and you captured it well. Too many people can spoil a place. I hope your visit was good.

I know what you mean, Jack. I've just come back from a holiday in Mykonos.
