Sunset paintings and photographies (Island of Hydra, June 2010)

Top: Digitally compressed paintings produced by colourist P. Tetsis at the island of Hydra in June 2010 during and after the passage of a Saharan dust cloud. The painting on the left features a more aerosol-rich scene (more dust in the atmosphere) than the one on the right. Bottom: Digital camera photos of the landscape. The pictures shown were taken half-way through the painting process.
