Finding Wisdom, Courage and Grace on the road less traveled.
The Seven Martyrs Church on the headlands of Kastro Sifnos is an eerie site at sunset. The Cyclades islands are rough and dry, their coastlines plunging into the black Aegean. At dusk, the sky glows like there’s a blazing fire nearby. On this warm August eve, goosebumps came over me as the warm pink glow of nightfall enveloped us on the cobblestone path up the hill into town.

Hi there! I'm Denise. I share my name with Dionysia, the Greek god of wine, pleasure and joy. I'm a photographer, writer, marketer vagabond. I take photographs of enchanted places and the people seduced by them. This blog is an account of the wisdom, joy and grace that I've encountered along the way, and a place where I showcase some of my favourite photographs.
If you have similar stories to share, have questions about purchasing prints or just want to say hello, I'd love to hear from you!

Beautiful!
I’ve been there! I remember that church felt like it was on the edge of the earth. No one else was there but me.
Yes I completely understand what you mean. It’s such a dramatic and isolated location!
Every description that follows your photos practically places me right there. I can almost feel the warmth you described and the goosebumps that surfaced as the sun began to set. You have a very poetic way of expressing your work that captures its essence. I’ve enjoyed following along
Hi Maria, thank you for your note. I’m so glad that you’re able to connect with the place through my descriptions.
What a spot!! I have enjoyed going through your site and looking at the photography, there is some really beautiful photos, congrats.
