The 2 photographs appear to be from different places - one is close to shore, the other well out to sea. Taken from a different direction? The one without the beautifull body seems a lot shallower.

The one with the beautiful body is taken west with Lefkas in the background. The other one is taken east with the mainland in the background.

Thanks - I take it that the beautiful body will not be marking the rock when we arrive there in early June next year!

I'll be there still. As you come past I'll hold my stomach in a bit for Mrs Robb. :-)

My shot is taken facing Northish, the other shot is taken facing Eastish.

I suspect the bulk of the apparent depth difference is because I'm standing to one side of the concrete cubes themselves, but the obvious other factors will also be in play as well.

Beautiful body? Aw shucks. I've gone all shy now.
