Last week I shared a lovely view of Santorini taken by my friends Patrick and Nia during their vacation back in June. This week I thought I’d share several more of their Santorini shots. Some of them are quite stunning. Enjoy!

When Patrick and Nia sent through these pictures to me, my husband commented:

Ah, a geologist’s nightmare. Photographs without scale! Except for the one with the boat… and the one with Nia…

Despite the lack of scale in some of them, these photographs are still pretty neat! If you are familiar with Santorini geology, please feel free to point out notable features. There are some great volcanic rocks in these pictures!
