Church At The Top
Church at the Top is set on a high hill with superb views over the islands to the north and west of Ios, i.e. Iraklia, Naxos, Paros, Milos, Folegandros and Sikinos. Almost 500m above sea level with no road leading to it from the unpaved track far below, the rough vegetation on an almost vertical slope separating the two makes access complicated, so that reaching the church with model intact and unscratched was certainly challenging. The choice of black and white brought out immediate details in both subjects, adding story but avoiding distraction, which was somewhat evident with the natural blues that tended to dominate the scene.
