A stunning collection. Yet another island I hope to visit some day.

Excellent work Ray ! Aristotle spent three years in Lesvos In the 4th century BC . He travelled to Lesvos, teeming, then as now, with wildlife. His fascination with what he found there, and his painstaking study of it, led to the birth of a new science - biology.

I never cease to marvel at the quality of your work Ray. It brings it home just how good these pictures are when I think that I was in Lesbos at the same time as you and trying very hard to achieve quality like this. I would be mightily proud of any one of these shots.
