Rethymno (Crete) Rimondi Fountain by taffy

Rethymno (Crete) Rimondi Fountain

We left for the Crete airport at 5:45 a.m. and were treated to the most amazing sunrise over the Agean sea, from the back seat of our taxi -- a perfect end to a lovely week. And about 22 hours and 3 flights later, I was treated to a beautiful sunset over Chicago again from the taxi on my way home. I think I'll be posting photos from Greece for at least the upcoming week -- so many still left to process. I took this of the fountain in one of the main squares of the old town in Rethymno (the town where the university was hosting the conference, where we stayed) last night as Bill, Junko, and I walked back to the hotel after a special 'last dinner' of our together time in Greece.
Thank you for your comments on my photos from yesterday. I look forward to a quiet day tomorrow re-entering my 'real' life and catching up on 365.
Gorgeous! Beyond words. Glad to see more!

Actually looks very warm and inviting

@joysfocus Thanks! It's now the site of an ice cream parlor! So very inviting -- and not intrusive in that the ice cream part isn't that noticeable.

Awesome shot

Beautiful archway and stone columns. Would never guess there's ice cream on the other side of the arch!

Love the columns and arch. Beautiful lighting as well :)

Fabulous archway and stonework. Living in Australia I really miss the architectural history of Europe sometimes. Nothing so old here in Australia.

Seems like a beautiful place for someone who loves architectural shots.

I'm a real sucker for modern and ancient calmly and harmoniously sharing space. This qualifies.

Best on black. The stonework is gorgeous... so many textures. I really like the way the arch frames the window and how light spills out from the room. Looking forward to more Greece shots. :)

This is really gorgeous, and I am certainly looking forward to the rest of your photos from your trip to Greece. I love the way this is photographed through the ancient ruins leading to the warm light of what could possibly be the window to someone's home....beautiful shot, and another FAV!

Interesting blend of old and new! (at least the things through the doorway look like they're modern compared to the columns)
