Photographic Memories #2
As every traveller knows, when you look back through old travel photos, many of them trigger wonderful memories. With no current prospect of travel even domestically let alone worldwide, we will have no new adventures to blog, but we do have many such memories…..
Photo #2: Skies Over Volos
This is another photograph which for us captures a memory of a special moment. After splitting our time between the mainland of Greece and a handful of the Sporades islands, we were now heading back on board the ferry from Skopolos to the mainland port of Volos. In the final stretches of the Aegean, a few miles from port, we moved parallel with a raging thunderstorm to the west. Just at the moment we passed, the setting sun dropped below the level of the storm clouds, meaning that the glowing orange sunset now shone behind and below the black clouds and flashing lightning, a sight spectacular enough to bring pretty much all of the passengers to one side of the ferry, camera in hand.

Great memories. We have done a number of island hopping holidays in Greece but now the old ferries have been replaced by the big speed boats it is just not the same.

I know what you mean. It’s still possible to find some of the quaint smaller ones running lesser known lines, but yes on this trip we were on one of the much bigger less romantic ferries.
