Herb Riddle's photos with the keyword: Rhodes

A welcoming open door into this yard beckons the innocent fence photographer inside, but I have to resist the temptation and just grab this as I pass by. I do like the matching fence, window and door colours here I wish you all, a great weekend, Herb

Coming into Rhodes just as night descended, we were lucky to see and walk past these famous windmills. Situated on the long wave breaker at Mandraki harbour stand these three medieval windmills which once ground the grains unloaded from merchant vessels in the harbour. Today, they still stand there, a proud reminder of a great past!! Good full size Sept26 -Extra PiP added

Also known as 'The Windmills of Mandraki'. That is because, just to the left is the ancient harbour of Mandraki where at its entrance, once stood the 'Colossus of Rhodes', one of the old Wonders of the World. These old mills once ground the grain that entered here from the myriad of merchant ships. ~ Quite a different view from the floodlit night-time one. See pips. We also see in the background one of the Rhodes lighthouses. Good full size.

Autumn 2019 and we are walking the old town of Rhodes. Every turning reveals another glimpse of history and interest. Here at the edge of the harbour is a closed small room, built into the wall. Do the step outlines show an old stairway or some kind of geometric pattern? A fence stops us from exploring further but it only raises more questions. HFF, enjoy your weekend
