Gratuitous photos of the land, sea and sky - Crete edition

I firmly believe that it is impossible to take a bad picture while in Greece. My phone could be slipping from my hand a some weird angle like from a Batman episode, rendering the water or a mountain range anything but level, and it would still be beautiful. Ran, overcast, full sun... Here are some that I have taken on Crete.

Zakros Bay--got my feet wet here too!

Heraklion, 10:00am


Just outside Heraklion, 7:00pm

Somewhere on A90 driving to Eleutherna.
Note all the strategically placed shrubbery, which would otherwise distract drivers with the amazing views of the Cretan Sea, as well as serving as guardrails.

Somewhere else on A90, westbound

Yep.

Westbound.

Somewhere on the Acropolis of Eleutherna.

Proving a point outside Dikteon Andron

Two from the valley of Mt. Dikta.  Also note the working windmills on the farm (right).
