Imerovigli

Imerovigli is a village on Santorini, in Greece, set along the island's caldera rim. My photographs approach it from the water. In one, a brown volcanic cliff topped with white buildings stands across dark blue sea, framed by the canopy of a boat, with coiled rope lying on the deck in the foreground and the light already low. In the other, the cliff shows its layers as it rises from the same dark water, a line of white buildings running along its rim, part of the awning cutting into the top of the frame. Both hold the village at a distance, read from below rather than walked.
