Crete

So this time, it is Crete. The beat goes on with the Mediterranean love.

Mediterranean and relationships

I am always hearing about that the Mediterranean people are more talkative than other people around the world. As far as I know records on cellular phone conversations belong to Spain, Italy, Greece and Turkey.

So, as communication is the most important thing between couples, I think Mediterranean people are happier in relationships.

What would you think about that?

Streets of Rhodes

Another scene from Rhodes, Greece.

I am still looking :)

I am searching on the net for the prices of real estate around Mediterranean, for photos of different Mediterranean countries etc.

And this is a scene from Rhodes.

This is exactly the scene I am going to create.

Of course, sea food is part of my love to Mediterranean.

Anyway, I told you that I was looking, checking, searching for a house around Mediterranean. I am still looking. I looked at France, Italy and Greece yet.

I will consider Spain and Turkey too. However I see that the most convenient real estate prices are in Italy and Greece. Turkey's real estate market is too much fluctuating, it doesn't look trustworthy. Maybe you have to check more.

I would like to present another group from Flickr: Traditional Mediterranean Fishing Boats.

I especially suggest you to look at this if you are into yachting or fishing or simply in love with Mediterranean like me.

The beautiful Mediterranean

Colors of the Summer, 2, originally uploaded by Guillaume Laurent.

The beautiful Mediterranean is a group on Flickr that consists of 1513 members and 22246 photos at the moment. I suggest you to have a look at it.

There are all kinds of sights from all around Mediterranean.

Here is the address: http://www.flickr.com/groups/the_beautiful_mediterranean/

And here is the group description: The Mediterranean Sea and all of the countries which surround it. ie- Italy, Monaco, Greece, France, Spain, Turkey & the North African nations.

How will I move to Mediterranean

IMG_1565, originally uploaded by Lord_Pivo.

After having literally looked at thousands of photos from around Flickr, I fell in love again again with the beautiful Mediterranean. I am now so sure that I want to move.

I start searching for real estate in Italy, Greece and France. I could only see a couple of nice houses around Greece and Italy. Santorini is a great place to live. I think it is heaven.

However, real estate prices differ between €150.000 and €300.000 if you want to live in a decent flat with two or three bedrooms. I am sure there are much more affordable options but I haven't seen all of them yet.

Anyway, I am determined. Someday in the near future, let's say in a couple of years, I will be moved.

Endless walk...

Endless walk..., originally uploaded by m o d e.

This photo reminds me of how I feel sometimes... and where I want to be.

I believe that sun and sea are necessary for life.

I have to admit that I love summer activities. Winter gets rather cold.

How many times should I say that I love summer?

This is the kind of photography I like on the web. Especially on a white condensed design.

A real dream

I want to spend my whole time in front of something like this.

What am I reading recently

, originally uploaded by jonee™.

I am reading The Yoga of Time Travel by Fred Alan Wolf and Quantum Psychology by Robert Anton Wilson.

edit: forgot to add Deepak Chopra. I am reading Unconditional Life: Mastering the Forces That Shape Personal Reality at the moment.

Warmth

A spring photo from japaslavian on flickr.

I liked the depth in this photo and the colors.

I have a dream

Run For The Boat, originally uploaded by marty_pinker.

In fact I have more than one dream but here is one of them. I think I can change my job, change my life and move to Santorini.

Nowadays, I am trying to make plans on that. I dream a job that I can work regardless of time and space.

As I say, I have more dreams and I decided to share all of them, day by day, here. But now, I will post more on Santorini.

Body Paint

Body Paint, originally uploaded by 3ElizabethLove.

Another nice and elegant example of body paint art. I can't differentiate in this photo whether this is a male or a female body.

Yet, the signs are beautiful. And the pose of the body is magnificent.

Not to be missed, my fellow body paint fans. Dance and body paint at the same shot.
