Tradition

This is a shot looking up the trail that carried people and supplies up to the towns on Santorini. Now it is kept going by the tourism business and has completion from the cable car. You can see the donkey keepers in traditional clothing waiting for their turn to take a load up. It was a rainy day when we walked down the trail and I felt bad for the donkeys slipping their way up and down with tourists, so we decided to take the cable car back up.
Fantastic picture and perspective.

Santorini... Brings back some great memories of this beautiful island.

Probably the donkeys are used to doing that. I would have done like you - used the cable car instead. The view and framing are magnificent.

Your narrative made the scene even richer for me. I like the way the tunnel framed the one walker.

Love the pov and focus on this shot. I had heard about the donkeys before. They are probably pretty sure footed, but I am sure they work very hard and probably don't get much in return. Great photo....fav.

Part of tradition is also learning to adapt. I'm sure the people are grateful for the tourism even when it is a bit inconvenient to deal with the tourists! Great shot!
