All colour images are also available as black & white prints. The b&w previews offered here are produced by simply desaturating the image via Javascript. The result is a neutral b&w preview which may appear flat or too dark/bright. Before printing, however, each image is individually assessed and adjusted for best contrast, tonal quality, and dynamic range.
Crete
Crete (Greek: Κρήτη, Kriti or occasionally Krētē) is the largest and most populous of the Greek islands and the fifth largest island in the Mediterranean Sea at 8,336 km². It was the center of the Minoan civilization (circa 2700–1420 BCE), the first advanced civilization in Europe. Crete forms a significant part of the economy and cultural heritage of Greece; while it retains its own local cultural traits (such as its own music and dialect).
