Bloomington, Minn., photographer Dave Vorland’s recent travels took him to Santorini, one of the Cyclades islands in the Aegean Sea. Santorini was devastated by a volcanic eruption in the 16th century B.C., which forever shaped its rugged landscape and villages. Santorini has two main towns, including Oia, where whitewashed, cubist houses cling to cliffs above an underwater caldera (crater) and overlook the clear Aegean and beaches made up of black, red and white lava pebbles. In Vorland’s words: “It’s true what they say: this island is a piece if Paradise.”
