This is for your eyes. So far nine categories are finished which will be extended in the course of the time.
New: Wallpapers. Several images in different sizes for your desktop.
Modem and ISDN users: I ask for your patience cause all images are pre loaded and that takes approx. 60 to 70 seconds. (A)DSL users are better-off...

Next step are the columns flora and fauna as well as series from different localities like the municipality Itanos to which Palekastro belongs.

All pictures were taken over many years using a Nikon F3HP, a Nikon F100 and a Nikon D100 as well as a Rollei 35S. Both Nikon MF and AF type lenses are used. I prefer Fuji Provia100F and Fuji Velvia slide films. The scans were made with a Nikon slide scanner Coolscan IV.
