A traditional fishing boat silhouetted against the fiery sunset in Mykonos harbor
The photograph captures a moment of extraordinary beauty: sunset over Chora harbor with a traditional Greek fishing boat in the foreground. The vessel, with its slender mast, is portrayed in silhouette against the sky that fades from intense orange to pink and blue. The sun, just set, has left a trail of warm colors reflected on the calm sea surface. In the background, the silhouettes of piers and other boats can be glimpsed. On the horizon, the profile of a nearby island closes the composition. This scene represents the most authentic Mykonos, that of fishermen who have lived from the sea for generations, far from the glamour for which the island has become famous. Chora harbor still maintains this traditional character, especially in the twilight hours.
