Santorini – Oia at Night

At Oia in the northern part of the Island Santorini, you can perfectly enjoy the sunset. But even after the sunset you have a splendid view on large parts of this great island of volcanic origin. In the foreground lies Oia and along the caldera many other small villages follow, all with a nice view over the Aegean Sea. The illumination, combined with the last natural light in the evening give this picture a special atmosphere.

Rolduc is situated in Kerkrade, southern part of the Netherlands. History goes back to 1104. For a long time it was used as an abbey, nowadays it is used as a seminary. Beyond that it’s a place for conferences. And there are located a hotel, a restaurant and a café.
