Symi Daily Photo Journal

Thanks to the lovely people at Blipfoto, I've now started a Symi Island Photo Journal. The concept is simple. Try and upload 1 photo a day. Adding text is optional but it's nice to write a few words on why you took the shot. Early days for me at the moment, but I've had some great comments, and over 1260 views for 8 Symi related photos.

My photos will tend to be more personal instead of tourist shots you usually see around the web. Sometimes I won't have time to get out and take a shot, so maybe it will be something random from that day. If you get a chance, look at some of the other entries. You don't have to be a professional photographer with lots of submitted pictures coming from phones.

Anyway, if you fancy having a look on everyday, or every now and then, here is the link: Symi Island, Greece You'll also notice the calendar in the bottom right hand corner. You'll see here the highlighted days I've taken a photo!

Symi Full Moon - March 2009

Last night we were treated to a full moon that slowly appeared over the mountain and shone down to the harbour. It really is a beautiful sight when Yialos lights up again after the sun has set. It's almost like someone has but a spotlight up in the sky! We've had some cloud today, but the milder weather seems to have set in now.
