A View of the Caldera in Santorini, Greece

The caldera is a dormant volcano. This view is in the town of Oia. Many archeologists believe that the lost continent of Atlantis lies submerged here. This image was used as a book cover on a book series entitled Travelers’ Tales.” It graced the cover of “Travelers Tales:Greece.”

The houses of Oia are built into the sides of the island’s northwest cliff, thereby maintaining a cool temperature in the summer.

This was photographed with a Nikon F3 using elite ektachrome, 100 asa, 1/250sec @ f/11 in Sept of 1997 at around 3:30 – 4 pm.

    Ahhhh Yuri … I actually have goosebumps viewing this masterpiece!!!!!! Glorious light … there truly is nothing like the light in the Med … and somehow it goes beyond the light … into the very air!!!!! Stunning majesty here!!!!!! Congratulations on your wonderful covers for this one!!!!!! I could probably sit here, typing away, extolling the virtues of this baby all day long and imagining myself back there!!!! You really should consider entering it into more groups … bmail me if you’re interested on a few ideas I have?? There’s nothing like getting it out there to be seen, sold … but more importantly … enjoyed by the world!!!!!
