pls wait for the image to load fully when viewing full size. Think enough of fractals for now - giving me headaches and bad for the eyes.
This is the ventral view of the Atlantis Fritillary also posted this evening. The chocolate colour of the disc and marginal wing bands help to identify this species more than an examination of the patterns on the dorsal side.

If Santorini turns out to be the lost Atlantis, then I don't want to hear or know. I prefer to keep the mystery.
The dorsal view. Some of the Fritillaries look alike in the patterns seen on the dorsal side of the wings, and can be difficult to decipher. That is why it can be important to catch the ventral view which is more diagnostic.
I posted the ventral view of this Fritillary as well.

The chimney belongs to an old tomatoes factory, which is currently a museum, in Vlychada Santorini. The marvelous accompanied sculptures are nature’s creations (volcano, wind, sea) and are decorating the whole Vlychada beach.

Amsterdam Light Festival - You may identify the image of an international metropolis plagued by floods and other natural disasters from blockbuster films like Deep Impact (1998) and The Day After Tomorrow (2004). With the sinking city, Atlantis, Utskottet demonstrates how this menacing scene can become a frightening reality.
The rise in sea levels and increase in extreme weather conditions around the world are demonstrable consequences of the way we recklessly interact with our planet – if we’re not careful, Amsterdam might one day be underwater. Utskottet drew inspiration from all over the world for the skyscrapers. If you look closely you might recognise some famous buildings like New York’s Empire State Building, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs tower in Egypt, the BSA Twin Towers in the Philippines, or, a little closer to home, Amsterdam’s A’dam Tower.
Utskottet chose buildings from different cities to form a global cityscape – after all, the threat of total demise concerns us all. The title of the artwork, Atlantis, refers to the mythical narrative of an island empire that disappeared following a series of natural disasters. First written about by Greek philosopher and writer Plato (427-347 BC), the story details how Atlantis vanished underwater as the result of earthquakes and tidal waves.

Atlantis Fritillaries belong to the Group of Greater Fritillaries (Speyeria). The grey eye with dark spots help to distinquish it from two other Speyeria Fritillaries common here, the Aphrodite Fritillary and the Great-spangled Fritillary. They both have brown or amber eyes.
