Ikaria in photos

I’ve been seeing so many lists of 50/100 breathtaking, amazing, beautiful, awesome, insertwhatever thisandthat photos that I thought I might give it a go myself. It seems an interesting exercise in photo editing which of course means you probably won’t agree with my selection, at least not entirely.

I thought I’d start with the Aegean island of Ikaria where I spent a few months last year and it’s still on my mind a lot. And I should probably point out that most photos featured here were found in the very active Ikaria – Ικαρία group on Flickr.

so here goes in no particular order…

I cannot finish without at least mentioning some other photographers whose photos I absolutely adored but they chose not to share their photos outside Flickr. I’ve been toying with the idea of hosting them on my server but that would be crossing the line…

very honorable mentions:

And should you still wish to see more, my photos from Ikaria are divided into Part 1, the goat interviews, and finally Part 2

    Dropping out of the line of work to tell you how amazed I am about this stunning selection and the great ammount of work it must have taken you to “stick” all these pictures to your blog. Also how thankful I am that you chose “dead river and forest” and my “big flowered shawl” to be part of this gallery.

    My Love

    Probably took the better part of an hour to go through the group pool and pre-select faves, after that it was just a matter of assembling it all.
