Cephalonia (Countryside & Overviews)

Our journey to Cephalonia concludes with one last trip through the countryside. From the winding roads, small farms, and stunning natural beauty - there's so many things that makes this island so beautiful, and makes it a fitting way to end our trip. Additionally, I'll be showcasing some more overviews of Cephalonia.


We were last at Myrtos Beach - and after a fun day at the beach, we made accommodations at the nearby Plaza Myrtos for the night. Once nightfall hits, the only lights you'll find in the distance are that of the occasional boat or two. It's quiet and peaceful - but also quite beautiful.

Our room in the villa happens to overlook the edge of the beach - so we get an excellent view of the sunrise.

Fortunately, we didn't have to deal with any of the rain at the beach..

The rain finally lets up - but is quickly replaced by a blanket of thick fog for most of the evening.

The Cephalonian countryside is crossed by a variety of winding roads. There's no such thing as a dull drive here - and between every twist and turn, the views are incredible.

Small, charming churches like this one dot the countryside.

Hehehehe - Fortunately, we didn't have to deal with any of the rain at the beach..  For sure!   *:lol:

Really like that night shot, with the lone car driving up that windy road.    Can't wait to see what's next!  Thanks for sharing @korver  :thumb:

Its driving me crazy, the constant reminder of oil painting, the joy of mixing the paint into a palette.  I miss the smell of linseed oil. *:lol:  Good to see the full tile views, like standing back from the full canvas to appreciate the whole vision of the painting.

Thanks @RandyE! *:)

I was actually never much of a painter, I usually stuck to pencil drawings - but your comments are really making me want to try it out one of these days! *;)

I cant imagine how long it took to do the entire tile. Particularly since the incredible level of detail you put into your work is beyond comparison. Hats off to you, good man. Bravo!

I’ve gotta say, seeing shots of the entire tile makes me respect your work even more. Your pics aren’t just snapshots of small vignettes; instead, you have a fully realized city tile. :ohyes:

Wow, I could almost smell the pines in that sunny mosaic. And that winding road -- what incredible MMP work all around !  Thanks for the quick holiday trip !

There are two kinds of SC4 players: those who are korver, and those who aren't.

At this point, can we really even consider @korver a  mere "player"?
