"To the dolphin alone, nature has given that which the best philosophers seek: Friendship for no advantage. Though it has no need of help from any man,it is a genial friend to all and has helped mankind." Plutarch

 

 

 

  

Dolphins

I visited Skopelos mainly to take photos of dolphins. I set the camera in advance to manual mode, choosing the fastest shutter speed possible and waited for the dolphins to come along. Though they made no high jumps out of the water, I was able to take some very nice shots and to enjoy the whole experience.
