Leaving Patmos

The beauty around Patmos, was amazing.  Maybe it was because we arrived later in the afternoon and into the evening.  But the light was perfect for photography. We were told that there are only red poppies growing in Greece.  Isn't that interesting.  And we learned that all these islands used the windmills to grind the local grain.  As we snaked down the road back to the harbor, our guide pointed down into a curve in the road below us, and amount the dense trees was a very small, white "chapel".  It is supposed to be where St John baptized some of the earliest Christians.  I was able to take only one picture as we drove by.  Finally, boarding one of the last launches leaving the harbor, I took this photo as we came along side the ship.
