Our day started out in the near dark as the crew climbed on board the caique, the work-a-day boat of the Aegean. Eager students and professionals alike on a quest to uncover the remains of an Early Bronze Age site somewhere off the coast of a small Cycladic island.
Enroute to destination.
Quest: The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge.
A true late summer/early fall start to the day with a churning sea and diffused morning sunrise…I miss Greece,already!

A VERY windy day and turning chilly this evening. This was taken in the early a.m. today. Truly the end of summer. You will be back soon when the spring wild flowers are in bloom.

Taken yesterday morning – couldn’t resist posting it when the internet was available again. It was either that or a Cycladic windmill to symbolise that man of futile quests, Don Quixote. Will save the windmill for a future post.

I have to ask, did you find the site, was it fruitful. The dawn light is beautiful Debi.

Yes, they have been excavating it for some time. We were here this weekend for a short visit just to see it. What a great adventure it was!

Beautiful pic and exciting ‘quest’. I must get to that iPhone tutorial you mentioned, I’ve got the info, just need to read it. π

It was very exciting. The morning light was exactly like it shows in the pic. I must have taken a dozen or more of the same scene until I got one I could work with and then only marginally enhanced. I think you will get some useful tips from iPhone Photography School tutorials. I follow them on Facebook, so it is easy to pick and choose which topics to read as they are posted.

My iPhone6 for some reason seems ‘crap’. Not sure if my dodgy hands have anything to do with it but it sure needs improvement! Geoff took some great shots in Greece & Turkey with his…..Grumble out loud.

I’m nowhere near you and I feel excited, Debi. This is my kind of adventure. You should have seen me on Crete. Then again, it’s probably good that you didn’t. π

Oops… Hit reply too soon. Was going to say dawn departure. Crete is a special island and one close to our hearts. I bet you loved it!

(I hate when that happens.) Yes, we had an incredible flat overlooking the harbor at Chania. Absolutely loved everything about the island, especially going to Knossoss. I’ll never forget the day spent walking about the palace ruins. π
