This is another travel sketch book, art for art sake. We were cruising the Greek Isles and stopped in Rhodes for a day. Our traveling buddies, Peter and Ann, sat in a corner cafe of this square with us as we drank wine and the atmosphere of this very cool island. The architecture was very eclectic because it had been around forever and occupied a million times by different countries. The city has a walled in fortress, but it's big claim to fame is having one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient world. The Colossus of Rhodes was 100 feet high statue of the Greek god Helios that straddled the entrance to the harbor. Eventually an earthquake destroyed it, but the foundations where it stood are still there! We passed it on our way in.
