This is a cheap and not particularly good print on canvas of a photograph. I bought it in the supermarket with my groceries and it only cost £2.00 ( less than $5). I've noticed it sitting in a wire basket with a whole load of other cheap prints for the last couple of weeks. Every time I saw it I thought. ''yeah I want to be there''. This week it still sat in the basket but this time it was all on its own, so I bought it. I guess it's a bit of a dream for me, I'm pretty sure its one of the Greek Islands but I don't know which one, where ever it is...............it's where I want to be.
It looks a bit like Lindos, but its not, I've been to Lindos. Where is it?? I know someone will know, and then I can put a name to my dream destination.
I think this is Santorini one of the Greek islands.It is truly a beautiful place and one of my dream places as well.
ReplyDeletei love the blue waters
ReplyDelete:)
The print was waiting for you!
ReplyDeleteOMG! i have been thinking that my next european holiday will be to Greece! ; D
ReplyDeleteIt's definately the Greek island of Santorini. I've been there, it's truly beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI used a set of images of the place (not my photos, I should add, but images found on the net)) to illustrate a vid for a fave piece of music:
Thanks Mitch and thanks sugarkat69 too.............I knew it was a greek island and i'm very fond of Greece, but i didn't know which island it was..............so thanks to both of you. i knew someone here would know where it was. :-)
ReplyDeleteSantorini is where many advertisements are photographed. I've never been (I am a big Italophile) but the white and blue are just too gorgeous. Make room for me.
ReplyDeleteLoretta, maybe it's an omen? Waiting there, just for you!
ReplyDelete"This is a cheap and not particularly good print on canvas of a photograph." It doesn't matter, it's so very appealing. Before I saw that Mitchy knew it, I was going to ask my good friend George Alexandrou, who was born in Greece.
Oh, I'd love to be there, too! Wandering through that labyrinth of buildings...must be some wonderful restaurants, fish mongers, bakeries, olives cheese & wine! What a beautiful dream destination.
the Greek isles: all blue and white. A painter's paradise.
ReplyDeleteI don't recognize the music?
ReplyDeleteThe friend I mentioned (below) & I, have made a several videos, & I think that in two...we used Vangelis, an incredible man, a passion one can see in his face.
However, music & images vary to be compatible with the poems we read.
How lucky you are to have been to this island. It's beautiful, indeed, & I can only imagine the voices, music & aromas...
Santorini, almost for sure! I love those blues, all shades of them.
ReplyDeleteNice find. Pictures of the Greek Islands add brightness to a room, even in the dark days of winter.
ReplyDeleteHere is an old snap of Santorini, which gets my vote.
It looks like some of the settings in a program I watch on HGTV... "Househunters International".
ReplyDeleteAlas that is the closest I will ever get to Greece! lol
ReplyDeleteYou should read my blog "the stuff of legend" which I posted about a month ago.......I think you'll find it informative.
ReplyDeleteSantorini is a beautiful place - the donkeys...not so much.lol
