Santorini - Day 2

A cloudy morning limited my shooting a bit, but I found some scenes that worked well in the light that was available.

Oia was much less crowded today (Tuesday). Tourist destinations are typically more popular on weekends. Being a contrarian, I enjoy the less crowded days of midweek.

Dogs and cats running lose on Santorini. I've been snapping lots of photos of pooches and felines.

Santorini is popular with honeymooning couples, but the Asian honeymooners have a special way of celebrating their nuptials. They snap photos all over town of the bide wearing her wedding dress. I'm not sure what started this fad, but it seems to be all the rage. I've seen at least twenty couples doing this so far. At first I thought they were models - and their are some professional fashion shoots going on, also primarily with a bridal theme. But a few of the couples asked me to take their photo together, and they were just honeymooners doing, apparently, what all of the other Asian honeymooners in Santorini were doing.

The afternoon was clear and sunny, and I was able to get some nice shots in toward the end of the day.

Crepes are a french treat, but they are very popular here as well. Almost every restaurant features them. Eating a crepe and sipping cappuccino is a lovely way to spend a little bit of quiet time after a successful day of shooting. Combine that with a breathtaking ocean view, and it's an experience to treasure.
