the greek island of santorini is famous for long sunny days and bleached white buildings on cliff tops with blue dome churches all across the island. a mecca for tourists, the small island is bustling with life and colour. sunrise and sunset in particular, are spectacular. I’ve been once before but revisited in 2024 to enjoy the vibrance, the shadows and the wonderful light
