really interesting to see is on this island the walls - they build it with schist -I have never seen before this kind of walls

the next is Chora or Andros City

and a typical church

the wether was very mixed -and it was not always able to go on the mountains -but we had luck :

it was a great feeling as we found the peonies : P. mascula ssp. hellenica ( we are a bit too early...)

a other day ( after some rain ,storm ,hail ) we could walk ( climb ) on the top of this island

there is a small chappel on this rocks .....but the storm was so heavy -we had really problems to go....

near the top grows Romulea

and here we are finally on the top ( 1001 m )

Welcome back Hans, I thought you had been very quiet for a week or two and now I can see why! Lovely pictures I have enjoyed journeying with you.

It is so good to see these far flung places, and such a treat to enjoy the flowers that live there, thanks so much for sharing with us Hans, I thoroughly enjoyed them.

Yes, it is much easier, and mine is quite tiny and fits nicely into my handbag so I always have it with me just in case.  My old SLR was so big and bulky I only used to use it for holidays and special occasions, now I can just whip out my digi easily, and I don't waste lots of money processing film only to find out that the picture I took was blurred etc.
