On the way to the Acropolis of Lindos on the island of Rhodes, this striking image was captured. It shows a donkey, one of the traditional means of transport on the island, used by visitors to make the steep ascent to the ancient site for a small fee. Resting in the shade of a whitewashed wall under the heat of the day, the animal stands quietly with its heavy load — a silent witness to centuries of footsteps, history, and tourism. The black-and-white photograph lends a timeless depth to the scene, highlighting the rugged beauty and simple life of these animals in one of Greece’s most historic places.
