Sorry there was no photoblog post last week, but I was busy processing my shots from the wedding of my good friend, Dave.

Here’s a third (and, I promise, final) “Caldera Sunset” shot from my Santorini trip. This one works, I think, because of the way the ripples on the sea and the clouds repeat similar shapes. Let me know what you think.

I’m making good progress on sorting out my photos from last year’s Santorini trip, with the intention of getting them finished before the anniversary…

I was going to publish a series of the Caldera sunsets in weekly instalments. I may still do that, but processing this wonderfully peaceful image made a slight departure from the plan irresistible.

I call it “Caldera Sunset Zen”. Let me know if you like it.

I’m finally getting round to processing the shots from my Santorini trip – only about a year late! The sunsets over the Caldera really are quite amazing. Here’s one, and I’ll post a couple more over the next few weeks.

Also, if you’re interested, I’ve recently added more shots from Europe last year to my online album. Have a look and let me know what you think.
