Eye level with Griffon vulture

Eye level with Griffon vulture

Griffon vulture (Gyps Fulvus) taking a banking turn with outstretched wings against azure blue mediterranean sea. Hiking up from Loutro to the Church of St Catherine, at half way up the mountain slope (about 400m), I met with this Griffon vulture at eye level while it was banking to follow rising thermal.
Agia Ekaterini, Loutro, Crete, Greece
