23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Famous Greek icons

This is a view that combines multiple Greek icons. The island villages are known for the deep blue of the fences and window frames and even roofs. And everything in the islands seems to be white. In the background is the steeple of a Greek church, and on the left is the knarled trunk of an old Greek tree. And peaking out of the passageway is the bright red window frame they love so much. After spending several weeks in Greece, these are definitely the iconic Greek colors.
