<p>Hello dear Nikonistas! I wish everyone is having a good time! Love your photos so far, mine are from our recent trip to Crete, visiting the famous Matala Caves.<br> The <a title="Dugout (shelter)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dugout_(shelter)">artificial caves</a> in the cliff of the Matala bay were created in the <a title="Neolithic Age" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neolithic_Age">Neolithic Age</a>. Matala was the port of <a title="Phaistos" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phaistos">Phaistos</a> during the <a title="Minoan civilization" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minoan_civilization">Minoan</a> period. In the year 220 BC. Matala was occupied by the Gortynians and during the Roman period Matala became the port of <a title="Gortys" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gortys">Gortys</a>. In the 1st and 2nd centuries the caves were used as tombs. One of the caves is called "Brutospeliana" because according to the legend it was frequented by the <a title="Rome" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rome">Roman</a> general <a title="Brutus" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brutus">Brutus</a>.<br> Matala was then a fishing village. In the 1960s the caves were occupied by <a title="Hippie" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippie">hippies</a><sup id="cite_ref-1" ><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matala,_Crete#cite_note-1">[1]</a></sup> who were later driven out by the church and the military junta. Now Matala is a small village living mainly from <a title="Tourism" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourism">tourism</a>.<br> Canadian folk singer <a title="Joni Mitchell" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joni_Mitchell">Joni Mitchell</a>'s experiences with the Matala hippies were immortalised in her 1971 song <a title="Carey (song)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carey_(song)">Carey</a>. (from Wikipedia)<br> All photos taken with D7000 and Nikon 16-35mm f/4, Enjoy!</p><div></div>

I saw this (fearless) kitten approaching to explore what was the little thing I was holding in my hands...my compact camera went off and I was lucky enough to get that shot...his sister was watching from distance (More precautious). Kind of a selfie, what do you think? Please VIEW LARGER, Thank You!
