On the mountains of Western Crete (III). Στις Μαδάρες του Αποκόρωνα (IIΙ)

A couple of days later, the weather was better and I decided to visit another side of the mountains I had never visited before.
Δυο μέρες αργότερα, ο καιρός ήταν καλύτερος και αποφάσισα να επισκευτώ μέρη από τις Μαδάρες που δεν είχα ξαναδεί.
Camera Nicon D60. Lens 18-55, at various speeds and f settings. ISO 100. All photographs resized to be 1800X1205 pixels. Click on them to enlarge and enjoy.

Beautiful sky, and beautiful ocean in the background. Something of the desert hills reminds me of my native Southern California. The blues and greens and browns here are striking, Costas. Thank you for this tour!

Marvelous tour as always, Costas! Beautiful skies and colors. I was thinking the same thing as Allison, it reminds me of Southern California. Thanks, as always for sharing the beauty with us! Enjoy!

How interesting! This scenery looks just like parts of southern California. You're quite high up there. Great views of the surrounding countryside and water. Thank you for your nice comments on my posts!

This is the kind of weather I imagine when I think of Crete. This part is very arid - It is a surprise to me when I see signs of human habitation in the middle of what appears to be near-desert.

Beautiful shots - well worth enlarging to get the amazing details!

Very rugged and beautiful at the same time. I agree with Allison, it does look a lot like parts of Southern California.
