Colors & Textures of Greece

I was in Greece from June 14 to 28. There were moments when I was smitten with colors & other moments with textures.
I loved these good friends in lush linens. I asked if I could photograph them. 
Now they look to me like Aphrodite torsos! 

No self-respecting traveler/photographer resists doorways & windows!



 
My favorite, below.
Textures, unusual ones, everywhere!
Acropolis marble paving.The stones have juicy color too!
And different tools making the surfaces flat.

I am in awe of sculptors turning stone into believable cloth!!
And I love it when texture & text intersect!
 

As I remember the writing below is the manumission of a slave at Delphi. 
A very public way of freeing someone! 

Stonework textures!! oh my!!


                                     .....a gathering of moths... 
     ...lime-stone rock at Olympia......shells compressed in sandstone... 
                             two fabulous olive tree trunks 
                                                              another texture
                       ...fishnets..... I can just feel the salt on them...
              ...walls of the Canal of Corinth....also looking like script...

                           ...and closing with the closed window...
                                   That's it for now.
