GREECE03/
SUNSETTING.........
time for thousands of western tourists in their shorts,
white hats holding water bottles,
guide books, hurrying to catch up with the people they travelled with so they dont lose them
to gather around set up tables along the most propitious viewing stands to see all this and more.
HUNDREDS of phone cameras/flash going off.
The GREEKS themselves hide.
Hordes and hordes and hordes of Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Westerners arrive in Cruise ships.
The beauty of such a scene i tried to capture getting as far away as i could from the masses.
ITS impossible to do that.
I went to Greece once in July, saw the thousands of people i would be seeing throughout my stay
and split for TURKEY which was less touristed at the time.
Automaton travel is pandemic and should but cant be outlawed.
It destroys the serenity of places like this.
Say what you will, the worlds favorite travel spots in the Summer months are not to be travelled.
go in early May or late September. What a difference it makes.
Automaton travellers can destroy your entire trip.
For me and the rest of the time i have, i probably won't make an appearance in these MAJOR SIGHTS anymore.
Its filthy, cacophonous, chaotic third world nations for me.......
