Stock Photography: Greece
Crete
I have amassed a large collection of Stock Photography images which previously could be accessed via a link to Photographers Direct.com. This was a well-established website with well over one million images on record, supplied by thousands of photographers worldwide. However, in early 2019 the site folded without warning or explanation, I suspect as the result of a downturn in the Stock Photography market.
As an alternative means of displaying my stock images, I am in the early stages of creating a series of thumbnail gallery pages featuring shots previously held by PD in addition to some of those included in the main posts. Due to the large number of JPEG files I have not attempted to re-keyword individual files as before but have grouped them under general headings so that they can be accessed via a general search. Larger categories will be sub-divided and some subjects may be duplicated on one or more pages.

Please note that all my images are subject to copyright. They are not free to use and have been embedded with a digital watermark. Also bear in mind that the thumbnails displayed are relatively low-quality, may be under or over exposed, and do not fully reflect the standard of images produced from the high-resolution files supplied to clients.

Chania

Just a handful of shots taken at Chania, a city on the island`s northwest coast. Chania is best known for its 14th-century Venetian harbour, narrow streets and waterfront restaurants. At the harbour entrance is a 16th-century lighthouse with Venetian, Egyptian and Ottoman influences. Opposite, the Nautical Museum has model ships, naval objects and photographs, much of which relate to the German occupation during World War 2.

Souda Bay
This is the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) military cemetery which lies in an olive grove at the north-west corner of Souda (Suda) Bay on the north coast of Crete. Currently 1,500 Commonwealth servicemen from the Second World War are buried or commemorated here with 776 of the burials being unidentified. Many of the troops involved in the fighting were Australian or New Zealanders. The cemetery also contains 19 First World War burials brought in from Suda Bay Consular Cemetery, 7 burials of other nationalities and 37 non-war burials. An additional memorial commemorates N.C.O.s and Private Soldiers of the 1st battalion Seaforth Highlanders who died during the International occupation of Crete in 1897.
