Aegina Island

On my third day in Athens, I decided to take a trip to the island of Aegina. The island is about 30 km from Athens. The boat trip took about one and a half hours to reach the island from Piraeus Harbour. Once I arrived on Aegina, I went to the museum. From there I continued to the fishing harbor on the Island, where I spent time viewing the many fishing boats there. Some of them just moored there. Others with their sails up, leaving or entering the harbour. Some new, some of them old. All the fishing gear stowed away and tied down on the decks of the boats.

I then continued with my walk down the coast line. I did some pictures of the views of the ocean from there.

I however did return to the harbour to continue taking pictures there, because the position of the sun was different. Sometimes with photography it is good to go back to a place later, as lighting always changes. I did several shots of the harbour using my Canon EOS1 DS Mark3 with several zooms. I continued my walk and came across a small church. The small building was painted white, which looked stunning in the light. I took several pictures of this very pretty building, some of them, close up’s http://www.flickr.com/photos/sylberlol/2944267774/, picturing the finer details of the building, others capturing the whole church http://www.flickr.com/photos/sylberlol/2944267328/.
