Spinalonga Fort

Spinalonga Fort stands on an islet off the coast of Lasithi, in Crete, its stone walls and bastions rising from the sea. It is reached by boat. My photographs show a round stone bastion on the island's rocky rise, seen over the white bow of a moored boat flying an EU flag, and a bow deck of ropes, bollards and a davit with people boarding at a gangway beneath walls. My videos pan along the fortress wall with visitors on the shoreline path below, then across turquoise shallows where sunlight ripples over sand and the hull's shadow falls. Others show a low scrub-covered headland, a small white motorboat, and distant hills under bright hazy sun.
