Sweet memories from Rhodes in the soft light of late afternoon and sunset...
"In Rhodes the days drop as softly as fruit from trees"
Lawrence Durrell, Reflections on a Marine Venus
The beautiful minaret of the Murat Reis mosque in the ancient Turkish Cemetery...
The lovely and peaceful Turkish Cemetery, a place dear to my heart...
There is still wild cyclamen growing on the graves!
The minaret of the Ibrahim Pasha mosque is a landmark in the old town -- here seen from one of my favorite little squares...
Lemon tree and minaret...
The crumbling Redjeb Pasha mosque seen from a charming little square...
"That long, much-loved, much travelled coastline breasts its way
up against the liner's deck until the town fans out --
each minaret like the loved worn face of an earthly friend"
Lawrence Durrell, Reflections on a Marine Venus
