This is a rather windy drive we took from Neo Chorio to Ineia last sunday, on our way home to Polemi. It takes a relatively gentle off-road route through some amazing scenery.

Dominic your photographic skills are brilliant and I enjoy them. But can I make a couple of suggestions Which for me would make this one more interesting?. Perhaps a brief comment to indicate where you are and anything of interest there.? Also do you edit your footage as sometimes a speeded up vision of an endless straight road, or hurtling around corners makes me too dizzy to watch the whole! Whereas less but a bit slower in speed would be very enjoyable. , Hope that you don't mind my suggestion.
Thanks,
Dee

Most of the driving videos are actually just me re-using footage I originally filmed to upload to Google Street View. I could edit them down but it is very time consuming, and then half the viewers will want to see the other bits.

I do occasionally do hyperlapse versions, but the slower ones tend to get more views. Essentially though, the driving films are just a bit of fun and a good way of recycling footage which would otherwise not get seen.

What's more, when Google get the footage they tend to knacker the quality. So it is nice to have it out there in HD.

If you want an edited film, the last one I did of the Archaeological Park would be more up your street.

Yes, I watched it and it was most interesting. You must have spent quite a lot of time making it.I had already been to most of the parts of this site, sometimes on private tours taken by one of the visiting archaeologists. This while I was working with a team of volunteers to help on a dig which was organised by one if the foreign universities who hold special permits to bring their students to excavate on a particular part of this and also other archaeological sites,
