From the Summit of Santorini

An unusual perspective of the island. Looking toward the caldera the villages of Fira (dead center) and Oia (trailing to the left) can just be distinguished as can the crater circle. The cone is in the foreground of the caldera just peeking above the near rim. Terraced vineyards, and other agricultural projects can be distinguished. To the right is the airport runway, continuing for ever, it seems. Notice the shadows cast on the island by the passing clouds and the mythic Aegean stretching to the horizon.
