The image captures a spectacular moment in Mykonos Little Venice during an evening of rough seas. The Aegean waves crash forcefully against the rocks, throwing sprays of water that reach the narrow walkway where blue bar tables and chairs are arranged. The scene is illuminated by venue lights reflecting on the wet pavement. Some patrons, undeterred by the waves, continue strolling along the narrow alley between white houses. This situation, frequent when the meltemi blows, the typical Aegean wind, adds drama to the already evocative atmosphere of Little Venice. The venues in this quarter are famous for offering drinks with sea views, but on rough sea evenings the experience becomes even more memorable.
