Wordless Wednesday
Santorini, Greece
Santorini is the largest island of a small, circular archipelago, which bears the same name and is the remnant of a volcanic caldera. It’s part of the Cyclades islands. It is also one of the most beautiful islands in Greece. We stayed in the village of Imerovigli, the highest point of the caldera edge, but visited other villages on the island: Fira, the capital: Oia, and Megalochori. All stunning in their own way.

Lens-Artists Challenge: Around the Neighborhood
Los Angeles is a sprawling city, with numerous districts and neighborhoods. I live on the so-called Westside area, which includes Brentwood, West LA, West Hollywood, Westwood, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Venice, Pacific Palisades, and Century City among several other neighborhoods. We live in Brentwood but Santa Monica, Westwood, Venice and Century City are part of what I would call my extended neighborhood. Almost everything I do is in these neighborhoods, especially Santa Monica, which happens to be right next to Brentwood. Here are some of my favorite places in my neck of the woods.
Santa Monica Beach and downtown Santa Monica.
Santa Monica Pier.
Santa Monica residential street.
Santa Monica bluffs, the California Incline, the Pacific Coast Highway and Santa Monica Beach.
Third Street Promenade, Santa Monica.
UCLA Campus, in Westwood.

Venice Canals Historic District. This is a residential area with beautiful homes and several man-made canals, originally built in 1905.
The Getty Center in Brentwood is one of the best museums in LA. It’s a short 10-minute drive from my house.
