Island of Crete, Greece In the fall of 1991, I spent about two months on the island of Crete in Greece. My stay there was the beginning of a backpacking adventure through Europe. A friend of mine was playing professional basketball in Crete, so I came along for support. We ventured around the island in a rental car and visited Knossos, Malta, and Via. We stayed in the city of Heraklion. This country is both beautiful and barren with low-lying shrubs. I was astounded to see garbage thrown over the hillside against the beautiful shoreline of pristine waters. Most of the images that I took here are on film and will take more time to scan, fix, and upload.

They can also matt, frame and glass the image if you like. If there is an image on my Web site that you do not see on the Imagekind Web site, please contact me by clicking here. I will upload the image to make it available. Thank you.
