Vertigo
A view down a bright blue metal staircase with bright yellow railings that leads to the lower deck of a ship. A turquoise sea is partly visible behind the railing.

Classic Cyclades (in the form of the lovely Apollonia village in Sifnos).
A close-up of a white, double church bell tower with two bells against a perfectly clear blue sky. A narrow alley laid with stones with low, white buildings on both sides. The closest buildings have light green and blue shutters. A close-up of the top part of the outer wall of a white-washed church against a stark blue sky. A wooden table with red cafe chairs in the shade of a green tree, and a bougainvillea.

Early morning beach walk (and swim). If you're an early bird, the beach is yours, even in the Cyclades at the end of July. #Greece
An empty, sandy beach with a rocky mountain and scattered, small white buildings in the background. On the right, there are some sparsely grown trees and empty sun loungers. The sky is a clear blue, and the sea is still. A view of a sea from the sandy beach and a rocky mountain in the background. On the left side of the horizon, there are some boats anchored at a small pier. There is no wind, making it look like the sea is bleeding seamlessly with the sand. A view of a section of an empty beach with a line of low, white buildings (tavernas and cafes) in the background. The sky is a clear blue and sea is completely still.

Syros' "little Venice" at dusk. #Ermoupoli
A line of old houses perched on a cliff overlooking the sea. One large church on the right is illuminated.

Nothing vengeful about this place called Ρεβάνς (revanche) serving up great breakfast and coffee across a fish market. #Syros #Ermoupoli #Greece
A narrow street paved with marble (I think) slabs and low, old buildings on both sides. People are sitting at a cafe on the left, watching people go by. A marble-paved alley with old buildings on both sides and people sitting at a cafe on the left side.

Evwning stroll in Ermoupoli, the lovely main town of Syros, in the Cyclades. #Greece
A view of well-preserved neoclassical buildings on the main square of Ermoupolis in Syros. A cobbled street with old buildings on both sides and people sitting outside drinking. A grand building in the neoclassical style in a cobbled square filled with people hanging out. Palm trees are lining the square.

This is so Greek: A man plays a guitar while hooded individuals clash with riot police behind him during a protest in Athens marking the second anniversary of the country's worst railway disaster. This photo is by Louisa Gouliamaki for Reuters. #Τεμπη #Tempe www.ekathimerini.com/news/1262931...

Meanwhile, Musk had openly supported Fidias in the run-up to the vote for vice chair because he is "smart, super high energy and genuinely cares about you!"

The office cat has wisely chosen to sleep inside this evening, though my warm-looking coat was too much of a temptation (she got in and out).

From a protest of Georgians yesterday in central Athens. The small banner reads, "Georgia was and will be part of Europe."
