1. Title: "A Windmill by the Medieval Harbour: A Glimpse of Rhodes, Greece, in the 21st Century" 2. Description: This evocative image captures the enchanting beauty of Mandraki Harbour in Rhodes, Greece, as the sun casts a golden glow over its ancient waters. The photograph, taken by acclaimed photographer Ethel Davies in 2019, invites us to explore the rich history and timeless charm of this stunning Mediterranean destination. 3. Background: Mandraki Harbour, located on the largest island in the Dodecanese, has been a significant historical and cultural hub for centuries. It was the site of the Knights of St John during the Crusades, and its strategic position in the eastern Mediterranean made it a valuable prize for various empires throughout history. Today, the harbour remains a popular tourist destination, offering visitors a unique blend of ancient and modern attractions. 4. Composition: In the foreground of the photograph, a picturesque windmill stands tall against the azure sky, its sails still and silent. The windmill, a symbol of Rhodes' past, adds a sense of history and nostalgia to the scene. The harbour's crystal-clear waters reflect the vibrant colours of the surrounding buildings, creating a stunning mirror image. The ancient ruins of the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, can be seen in the distance, serving as a reminder of the island's storied past. 5. Technique and Style: Ethel Davies masterfully captures the essence of Rhodes with her keen eye for detail and her ability to convey the interplay of light and shadow. The use of colour adds depth and vibrancy to the image, while the composition invites the viewer to delve deeper into the story of this remarkable place. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of ancient Greece and the beauty of the Mediterranean.
