The harsh Cretan sun forces her way through the rough rattan
roof
hastily hoisted as a pretense of shade
Her dappled light reflects through, bouncing off stone floors and walls
and pristine-white tablecloths ....
.... creating shadows on shadows on shadows is her daily form
and inside or outside,
this dappled delight is a favourite cool retreat
at any one of the many red tables and red chairs.

Francesca, once again I say that you have captured the spirit of Crete so well.

So perfect a postcard of Crete. I love this series of photos. . .it makes me 'homesick' for my favorite island on earth.
ReplyDeleteWonderful colours indeed.
ReplyDeletePlease have a good new week ahead.
On this cold and dark Paris morning you have transported me to one of my favourite destinations, dreaming of delicious seafood and yearning for the warmth underneath the rattan roof! I have started Greek lessons Francesca wish me luck hahah!

I'll join Belinda and you with a g&t sitting at one of those bright tables in the slanting sunlight and shadows. Superb photos. Love
ReplyDeleteHi Francesca, I've never been to Crete, but I must say it reminds me of where I live down here on the south coast of NSW a place called Jervis Bay- and right now I feel very spoilt to have somewhere as beautiful as crete on my door step for free- tre blessed! xxCorrina.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photographs and I wish that I could be sitting at one ofthose red tables eating fish and drinking something cold. We have just returned from Rome where it was 80F ...... it's freezing here in the UK !!
ReplyDelete..... and, thanks for your lovely comment today Francesca. XXXX
How delightful! You are really making me crave my Corsican summer holiday. I love the islands, the sun on tablecloths, the rattan roofs, the warm winds and early morning swims. Thanks for this - in tights and boots over here! Xcat
ReplyDeleteFantastic photos Francesca. I'd love to go and escape and spend some time there.
