Santorini is a caldera formed by volcanic eruptions. We arrived on the southern end and visited sites in Thera, in the middle. It is a favorite island for visitors. Unfortunately, Santorini is overrun by those visitors. I arrived on a small ship, but thousands of others poured out of big cruise ships.
Houses, churches and stores drip down the sides of steep cliffs.
I was going to photograph a ship and the sea from up above, when I noticed
a shirtless young man posing for his girl friend.
You couldn't pay me to live in a house at the edge of a sheer cliff.
Especially in a region with a still-active volcano.
But, I was fascinated by the sedimentary layers, all laid out for the observer.

Wow, Jack! You did well to avoid a lot of people in your pics.
Fascinating views. All those buildings on the very edge of a steep cliff is something to admire but, like you, I wouldn't live there. I hope you thanked that guy for posing!
A beautiful place! I'd love to see it for myself someday.
