The stunning sunset from the balcony of our hotel in Fira, Santorini.
This is a church in Oia, Santorini.
The church is Agios Nikolaos Ragavas of Plaka in Athens, Greece. This is an 11th century byzantine church. We had gone for a walk and went inside this very dark church. I managed to take some photos inside, without a tripod! This is a view from the entrance..
Driving around Greece in October, we stopped at a Village to take some photos. This is the back yard of the Taverna in the early morning.

View from the slopes of Mount Subasio, Assisi.Together with almost all its surrounding territory, Assisi was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the year 2000, described as constituting a unique example of continuous history: a city-sanctuary beginning with its Umbrian-Roman origins, through the Medieval Age and up until today. The Basilica of St. Francis has been defined as an extraordinary example of an architectonic complex that has heavily influenced the development of art and architecture. The celebration for St. Francis as Patron Saint of Italy occurs every October 4; he cultivated a humble and poor style of life, which is probably why he is Italy’s most beloved saint. In this Umbrian city, the Basilica dedicated to his name and life preserves the remains of the “mendicant of Assisi,” thus making it a destination for thousands upon thousands of religious pilgrims.
What a wonderful sight it was to see such a glorious glow from the Church in Assisi.
On the walk to Vernazza from the car park, we came across this interesting building. There were massive landslides following heavy rains in 2011. The road from Vernazza to Monterosa is still cut.
View from Monastery of Áyios Stéfanos at Dusk. Meteora, Greece
We stopped along the road towards Meteora as the scenery was stunning. You can see the Monastries of Meteora in the distance and a church at the top of the nearest hill.
Arriving at Oia, Santorini by boat.
This is a view over the Amari Dam Reservoir in Crete. We were on a bus tour and there were no photo stops built into the program! I took this from inside the bus.
Instead of walking up the steep paths to the Castle in Spoleto, you can travel most of the way in these travelators! That's my husband in the photo.
Trees on the way to the top at one of the Monastries of Meteora were a stunning bright green, so I stopped to take this photo.

I was walking along one of the narrow streets of Mykonos and a lady pushing her son in a stroller was passing by. It occurred at exactly the right moment to capture this stunning shot.
