Causeway

NIKON Z 7 + NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S @ 24 mm, 4 sec at f/11, ISO 64

Looking along the causeway out to the Venetian Fort back towards Naoussa. It looks quite calm and safe here (and it was this evening). Two nights later however the wind was very gusty and the waves were crashing over the top making it impossible (and likely quite dangerous) to get out here and shoot 🙁

Naoussa Settles

I may have… ahem… “accidentally” found myself up on top of the walls of the Venetian Fort just out in the bay at Naoussa on the Greek island of Paros

This enabled me to get the tripod out and take this seven (7) frame stitched long exposure panorama of Naoussa during twilight. The view takes in just over 180˚ and probably needs to be viewed large. It wasn’t an epic sunset by any means but it was still quite pretty with a little cloud about

Some top down images over Naoussa. It’s just after sunset so it looks nice with all the street lights in all the narrow cobbled laneways on. You can see all those outdoor tables and restaurants around the water, but there were sooo many more great places to eat than that. All those lit laneways are basically filled with shops and more restaurants (many with outdoor seating in the laneways) which all stay open till late every night. Some of the bars around the waters edge are open all night

I can actually see the apartment we stayed in (well it’s roof and the stairs on both sides) in the second and third images

I think our apartment was one of a small number of places in the wider area which hadn’t been converted into a shop or restaurant

Our place was quite large too – it had a lower part at street level (with kitchen/dining plus bathroom) which took up half the width of one of the blocks and then the upper level was twice as large taking up the full width of the block (with a living area with sofa bed above the lower level and the main bedroom on the other side). Below the bedroom was a clothing/jewellery shop

Time for an early(ish) dinner… well… because I wanted to go photograph things at sunset 🙂

Even though it looks like full daytime it wasn’t actually all that early – it’s after 7PM but sunset isn’t for another 90 minutes 🙂

Anyway we did eat some great food – including of course grilled octopus since we’re by the water in Greece! 🙂
