"Pour voler jusqua Mykonos......"

I got to know Mykonos by listening to Michel Polnareff's love song "Allo Georgina" ,in my junior high school days,about 25 years ago.

At a cafe on the front of "Venetian Port",I recalled some of the words.

"Je voudrais etre un albatros"
"Pour voler jusqua Mykonos......"

(Becoming an albatoros, I would like to fly out to your place Mykonos.)

Now I decided to fly off to Santorini for next my entry.

vivid red color


It is difficult for me to pick up my best photo. Watching my many many photos, I want show you all of them.

Today's photo is one of my favorite one. I took this photo outside of Mykonos town.

Just as blue of the sky and white of the walls , so this vivid red color burnt into my memory.

enveloped in the gathering gloom

After the sun set, Mykonos town was enveloped in the gathering gloom.



The blaze of the sun went away, town lights was shinning softly upon white walls.






When darkness arrived, caffes and "taverna" the restaurants were crowded with many tourist and others again. Many people enjoied their nightlife in their way.

"How did you spend the Mykonos's night ?" "Sorry, it was my secret..... : p"

Walking around Mykonos town


I think Mykonos town is a labyrinth of white.
Once stepping in a narrow and winding path , white walls with colorfull toropical flowers and windows lead you to depth of this town. You will lose your way and lose your sense of time. Finaly you must fall under the spell of Mykonos town , you must get wonderful fellings , like me!





Walking around the Mykonos town under the blue sky, blue color of the sky and white color of Mykonos made me realize the meaning of the color of Greece's flag almost.





The Mykonos town have many small churches. The Paraportiani church (following two phots) is the most famous church in this town . The white wall sets off against the blue sky. That's so fantastic!! The Paraportiani has four chapel at four points of the compass. This style is the typical in Cyclades.

Windmills of Mykonos



Windmill of Boni on hill top of Ano Mili.

Here is my favorite view point of Mykonos town. Previous photo and following two photos were taken from here. Blue sky and sea,white mill's body and red door, I like contrast of these colors.







Windmills of KatoMili. The landmark of Mykonos island.

I laid out "white Mykonos town" in forground and "Aegean blue sea" in background. But mills are too small. It's a pity that I didn't have telephoto lens.







Windmill and Sun set.

At twilight I went back to this nice view point. Sure! I wanted to see Mykonian sun set with my ....!!

Getting started !


Today was an unforgettable day. My blog"Posso fotografare" just started.
I keep a diary about the everyday joys and sorrows with my favorite photo which I take.

The first photo on this blog was taken at Mikonos where I spent my last summer vacation .
Now I can feel signs of winter coming. I long for Aegean blue sea and blue sky, hot summer sunlight.
