The Greek economy might not be very ‘golden’, but the light in the Greek Islands is sublime. The colours change before your eyes, so quickly in fact, that it feels like you cannot capture them all on still film.
The film stock varied but was primarily Kodachrome.
This set of images was the most task intensive to date as closer inspection (@400%+) revealed that the processing of these transparency films was, despite using a professional lab at the time, far from perfect. 
Chemical ringing, spooling scratches and other imperfections were particularly evident. Highlighted even more so by the very subtle tonal graduations in these particular images.
Patience and Photoshop!
