Photographer's Note
A view of the island of Patmos from the air.
Patmos is a very special island, I really love it and always wish to have a glimpse of it from the airplane. On my way to Athens it was covered by a very thick blanket of clouds but on the way back to Leros the clouds were fewer and I enjoyed seeing Patmos again. When we passed it and as the plane was descending towards Leros, I looked back and saw this.
From Wikipedia:
Patmos (Greek, Πάτμος; Italian: Patmo) is a small Greek island in the Aegean Sea, most famous for being the location of both the vision of and the writing of the Christian Bible's Book of Revelation.
One of the northernmost islands of the Dodecanese complex, it has a population of 2,998 and an area of 34.05 km2 (13.15 sq mi). The highest point is Profitis Ilias, 269 metres (883 ft) above sea level. The Municipality of Patmos, which includes the offshore islands of Arkoi (pop. 44), Marathos (pop. 5), and several uninhabited islets, has a total population of 3,047 (2011 census) and a combined land area of 45.039 square kilometres (17.390 sq mi).

Hi Ourania
another cool looking shot from above!
blue is my favorite color, and this blue in the ocean is fantastic, you couldn't have asked for a better contrasting color.
same goes for the clouds, you couldn't have asked for better ones!
fun to examine the coastline edges, the cliffs look to be very steep in most places. Easy to see why the buildings are in the middle of the island :)
fun post
cheers

Hello Ourania,
A fine aerial view over this island so dear to your heart. I like the pleasant lighting engendered by the clouds. Excellent technical realisation.

Hello Ourania,
If there are people who have never been in an aeroplane, your photograph will give them an equivalent experience! It's an amazingly clear shot and very well timed! The cloours are deep and rich.
Have a lovely day,
Bev :-)

Hello Ourania ,
I love clouds ( but sun , too ;)) . So I enjoy this aerial view of this island with its jagged coastline . It is stunning for me to see how dry the vegetation looks . Aren'tt those islands green in winter ?

Hi Ourania,
Spectacular panoramic view of this island. I like how the white houses can be seen from the plane. Well taken scene.

Hello Ourania,
It's a nice view of the island, but this time it's no doubt the clouds that attract me the most. They make a lovely upper half of the photo and are complemented very nicely by the island and the beautifully dark blue sea. Again this is a remarkably clear and sharp photo from an airplane.
Kind regards,
Gert

Bonjour Ourania,
J'ai comme l'impression qu'outre le bateau, l'avion est la meilleure maniθre d'aborder ces nombreuses ξles grecques. J'aime beaucoup les ombres des nuages au sol et la belle texture de la mer.

Hello Ourania,
The large clouds have fantastic shapes and look so beautiful floating high above the very blue sea and the hilly island. Wonderful capture, thanks for sharing!

Beautiful view of the island under the clouds, partly cloudy weather, Ourania.
Looking at the contourlines and shorelines, the picture is sharp and distinct (those clods looks to enhance a softer view).
Fine post from high above.
Happy Christmas holiday,
Ike

Ciao Ourania
in effetti si tratta di un bellissimo spettacolo, l'isola θ molto frastagliata e in un certo senso le nuvole seguono lo stesso esempio.
Bella foto, il momento non era facile, ma te la sei cavata molto bene.
Saluti

Hi Ourania!
You had a great weather on that day and got a very good shot. I really like the effect of the clouds above the island and their shadows. Beuatiful light also.

Hi Ourania
Nice natural colours, shadows and shapes of both the island and the clouds, not the sort of shot one captures every day but looks great from that height. It's nicely done with strong contrast. Well done.
Best regards

Hello dear Ourania
I'd missed this wonderfull aerial capture of Patmos in your gallery.
The clouds above the island makes you capture very interesting.
I haven't been there yet but most probably I will be in the delegation of Patriarch Bartholomeos when he will be visiting the island next autumn. The island has a great importance in the Biblical history.
TFS and have a nice weekend

Hi Ourania,
This is a very special and beautiful view of one of the most important islands of the history. The photo with the clouds above became almost a painting. To me that I am a Christian is a pleasure to see from above such an important place because of the book of Revelation and its encouraging message.
Thanks for sharing, my friend!

Hi Ourania
A superb aerial shot of the heavily indented coastline of this picturesque island partly obscured by the fluffy white clouds. Good sharpness and it seems most of the inhabitants reside on the plateau at the back. Tfs!
