When I first read SH’s original challenge post I immediately thought dawn, dusk night time etc. However, I’ve since come around to looking at this in a different way, working out how I use quiet hours to benefit me, especially as a stock photographer.

We like Rhodes, in fact we really like Rhodes. In recent years we’ve been returning annually to the same area in Ialyssos, about four miles from Rhodes Town. We like Ialyssos and it just fits in with everything we want from a short holiday.
