sunset over "Therasia" as I think it is phonetically spelt. One of the other bits of the original island of Kalista/Thera/Santorini.

Kalista being what the original island was called in antiquity, Thera being what an exiled king (King Thera, funnily enough) named it when he took it over, and "Santa Irene" being the youngest name (at 800 years) which came from the first "new" church built by Italian settlers.

No, I had not collapsed backwards onto the floor while trying to take a shot of the horizon.
