On the Aegean Sea

In the past I've heard a lot about the beauty of the Aegean Sea, but I did not pay much attention to it.   One day during the trip, we made a stopover at a coastal town more like to kill time and, lo behold, unexpectedly discover the meaning of that praise:  a clear indescribable blue green sea water,  accented with little guppies swimming around.




Over the distance, Black-legged Kittiwakes (seagulls) and a Marbled Teal bobbing and hunting on the water.


"Hey, this will be my catch."


And on top of a nearby fisherman's shed, a Rock Dove was staring at me.


"I bet you are fascinated by us just like all the other tourists."
