Greece is a sunset. Each structure includes dazzling colors which is like a rainbow sprinkled across the city. Below the city built into a cliff there is water that refreshes. But the water is a battle. A battle fought between the choppy water and the towering cliffs. Wave after wave violently crashes against the rough rocks, the war never won. I breathe in the salty ocean air, which stings my nostrils. I feel the sun beading down on me. The sounds of fish markets, "Opah", and bargaining vendors ring in my ears. There is never a complete moment of silence. The bustling noise of the towns seem out of place next to the serenity of the Aegean Sea. Beneath my fingertips is the porcelain texture of the simple dwellings. The buildings look like rolling hills. Your eyes easily follow the curves and twists of the rounded architectures. This is a view that has the ability to take multitudes breath away. It is a sight of peacefullness.

I really like your picture! I'm in a really bad mood today so it made me think of a happier place. I really liked how you used discription on how it was war on the rocks because of the waves. I also liked how you said you can hear the sound of the men in the fish market say "opah". That word is so cute and fun. It reminds me of greece a lot. The only thing I would change is be careful when you transition from sentence to sentence, because you seem to be just randomly combining sentences together. Try and flow them a little better. But other wise it was good and I loved the picture!!
i thought that you did a really amazing job discribing your picture. you did a good job at using those sensory details to really make the reader seem like they were in greece. i think that you could find some new, more exciting words to really drag your reader in. other than that it was a fantastic discription.
