Siesta Time

Siesta time – a small village street in Greece

Just a small snapshot of a bike parked beneath the flowering Bougainvillea, however it did bring to mind the well-know Noel Coward song lyrics “Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun”? If I had been there, being a typical tourist, I guess I would have been guilty of venturing out, probably only armed with a bottle of water and a sun hat, but I am sure the locals residents have more sense than to suffer the midday heat. I enjoyed painting the picture although it was a little different from my normal subject of countryside and sea landscapes.
