This continuing series of posts depicts our beautiful world, encouraging viewers to share them and help save our unique home from human carelessness and indifference.

Today’s photo shows a landlubber’s view of a rough bay on the Greek Island of Rhodes. It’s from October 2017, and I hope it’ll warm the cockles of your heart after this mixed March weather we’ve been experiencing. The building top right is the Acropolis in Lindos, a fascinating site of antiquity that stands at the top of a high cliff. Looking down from the battlements, you can see birds of prey from above, as they’re rarely seen. The rough, rocky coast is built from what appears to be mostly volcanic fallout from many centuries past. We reached this spot after a short sea trip from Pefkos in a glass-bottomed boat that took us so close to the shore we were at one time underneath overhanging cliffs. The boat’s skipper provided a commentary on coastal disasters in between serenading us on his guitar, which he claimed to have belonged to a member of Queen, though I’m pretty sure this was just a tale he told to all tourists he had as passengers.

I post every Saturday here, but also share a different picture of natural beauty at the end of most days, with the hashtag #ourworldiswonderful, on FaceBook, Threads, Instagram, and on the newer social media platform, BlueSkySocial, which no longer requires an invite.
