I got up to shoot sunrise at Santorini and realised all these low formation clouds and fog covering the caldera. As a cruise ship approached in the early hours of the morning to enter the bay, there was beautiful light on the cliffs and the rocks of the caldera.

Santorini is in league of its own, when it comes to views, greek architecture and the Calderas.

A caldera is a cauldron-like volcanic feature usually formed by the collapse of land following a volcanic eruption. They are sometimes confused with volcanic craters. The word comes from Spanish caldera, and this from Latin CALDARIA, meaning "cooking pot". In some texts the English term cauldron is also used.
Santorini caldera is a large, mostly submerged caldera, located in the southern Aegean Sea, 120 kilometers north of Crete in Greece. Visible above water is the circular Santorini island group, consisting of Santorini (aka Thera), the main island, Therasia and Aspronisi at the periphery, and the Kameni islands at the center. The Kameni Islands and Therasia are what you see in this picture in addition to 4 boats to give you a sense of scale. Hope you like & thanks in advance for all of the views, comments & faves!
Cruise ships wait in the deep water while their tenders take passengers ashore for the climb to the top, or a local boatride.
One of the many cycladic islands of Greece, is considered as the Aegean wonder. This album is our story, which is just a piece of this wonder.
Please, go to my album Santorini.
This gives you a great perspective on how Santorini is built. When you are on top you really cannot see the height. But when you are on the bottom you can see the magnitude of the mountains and height. Really something to see. I took this shot early morning on a ferry heading to Ios island.
