The Lighthouse, Chania, Crete.

Another scanned print, this time from my 1993 trip to Crete, this old lighthouse stands at the entrance to Chania harbour. One of those little known but fascinating facts is that the city of Chania has been in continuous human occupation for longer than any other in Europe.

An

Entrance to the Cave of the Apocalypse, Patmos

A scanned print from my trip around the Greek islands in 1996. The cave of the Apocalypse is on the island of Patmos and is claimed to be the location where Saint John the Devine wrote the final chapters of the Bible, the Book of Revelation. Now, once inside the 'cave' even the most devout has to answer a few pertinent questions about this assertion. For a start, were it not for the brick walls  now enclosing it, in no way could it be called a cave - more like an overhang, and as for the ledge were the saint was alleged to sleep, well he would have needed a harness to prevent him from rolling down the cliff side!
