Memories from Greece

March 4, 2020 Johanna Leave a comment

Greece is a beautiful country. Here are some of our memories from our wonderful vacations in Greece.

When a cloudy day begins, a trip to enjoy some old ruins is a fun thing to do. During the sunny and hot days it is best to stay by the sea and swim in the wonderful bays.

Kinetta beach is a wonderful beach. Peaceful and beautiful.

Alepochori is a wonderful small town in Greece. Many happy moments and hot, sunny days.

I can recommend to visit Greece. If you like hot weather, travel in July or August. If you like less hot, but sunny and warm days, travel in May, June or September.

Dive into the Red Sea

The underwater world is so exciting, beautiful and magnificent.

We Are Dancing — The Masked Butterfly fish like to dance around the corals.

Red Sea Parrotfish Colorfully — There are hundreds of different Parrotfish in the Red Sea

Exotic Red Sea Yellowtail Tang — The Yellowtail Tang is so exotic. And a shy fish too. Glad to have captured it with my camera.

This post is for your inspiration. A little bit of joy and color to the day! Hope you like what you see.

If you want to have a look at more fish and coral photographies, welcome to my fish art pages.

What a thrill it is to dive into the Red Sea waters. Each time I am happy and excited, and I know I will see beautiful sealife, maybe a few new species… and all those wonderful, colorful corals, that Red Sea still has.

Here are a few of my new underwater photos:

Exciting and beautiful Red Sea Underwater World

What a thrill it is to dive into the Red Sea waters. Each time I am thrilled and excited, and I know I will see beautiful sealife, but maybe also something a bit exciting…

Here is two gorgeous Masked Butterflyfish. I edited the silver like sand to turquoise.

It is a joy to see many the different kinds of Parrotfish, Tangs and Angelfish.

In Egypt and Jordan, you can also enjoy sandy dunes, if you do not want to enjoy the thrills and joys of the Red Sea.

I marked with purple balls the places in the Red Sea, where we have been to.

Sometimes I meet the Giant Moray. It is not something I actually want, as this huge predator is not calm and shy, it is a predator that will attack you if you go and disturb it. It hunts at night, but during the day you can see it swimming from one hiding place to another.

We have enjoyed many great breakfast , lunch and dinner meals in Egypt and Jordan. The variety is quite big, sometimes huge, and especially the oriental dishes or sauces are fantastic. Sometimes we choose anyway just a quick, small burger, after photographing in the sea, and the take a nap.

It is wonderful to take a walk in the early evening, after the hottest hours are behind us. But before 6 PM when the sun sets quickly.

Once we flew home just before the sunset. The sunsets are so beautiful in Egypt and Jordan.

If you love sealife, welcome to my Redbubble photography page, where you can choose sealife photos as t-shirts, coffee mugs, wall art, pillows, bags, notebooks, bath mats, and greeting cards. Great for the home, and also exotic and unique gift to your friends.

The Oberoi Sahl Hasheesh

April 10, 2019 Johanna Leave a comment

A little over 1 year ago, I read about a fantastic place in Egypt. The Oberoi Sahl Hasheesh.

“Located directly upon the shore of the Red Sea, a comfortable thirty minutes from the centre of Hurghada, The Oberoi, Sahl Hasheesh is a spectacular, forty eight acre, all suite hotel, with a certified PADI dive centre and a large private beach.

Inspired by traditional Arabic designs, our luxury hotel in Sahl Hasheesh has luxurious accommodations and restaurants which feature classical, domed ceilings and long corridors. They are illuminated by Arabic style lamps and framed by elegant columns decorated with the traditional Islamic eight point star.

We offer all guests complimentary access to high speed Internet for up to four devices.”

Our dream was to visit this fantastic hotel and dive into the Red Sea with our cameras.

Our dream came true in March 2018. And again in March 2019!

The Oberoi is such a magnificent place, I can warmly recommend a short or a long vacation at this beautiful Five Star All Suite Hotel!

If you like a peaceful and beautiful pool area and beach, rather than a very crowded one, you will love Oberoi Sahl Hasheesh. The seaview is amazing. The waves touch gently the wonderful sandy beach. And there is plenty of space for all visitors to sunbathe on the beach. They have also great service also at the beach. Towels, sunchairs, water and even sunscreen. And the suites, the service and the food… they are magnificent and wonderful!

If you like to swim in the sea, snorkel and watch the wonderful Red Sea underwater world, you can do so very easily from the pier. There is also the possibility to scubadive. We like freediving and photographing underwater.

Have a wonderful day!

ps. if you are interested in enjoying more of my underwater photos, welcome to my pixelspage.
