Samaria Gorge - Tall Trees
Sky view between the tall trees that kept us cool the whole time!
As it is a a period of grief for all Greece right now, I look at these photos of the trees and the forest in the gorge, and they are so beautiful, I remember the fresh air and the cool breeze under the beautiful trees, and I cannot even imagine how these unimaginably beautiful forests in Peloponnisos, Evia, and elsewhere that were totally burn, how they will be now! It will be like a paradise turned to hell in only some hours! It's a total crime against life!
divinus.
statue of Aphrodite, dating back to 2nd Century AD, from National Archaeological Museum, Athens, Greece.
(well am not so sure abt this info. this is what I remember now. :D. simply becoz, its easier to get lost in between the numerous gods and goddesses. )
museum_4
last one in the museum series. from Olympia, Greece.
The light setting in the museum was superb.
for me it was simply tempting, even thought the theme was repeating.
have you seen The Acropolis?
Is it in the seven wonders of the world? I am not sure.
But I think its a must see place in one's life time.
They are reconstructing it, as it used to be in the Pagan periods.
from Athens, Greece.
deserted bus stop... roadrunners on loose!
a low light snap from the motorways of Greece.
had a nice vacation in Greece. road trip!
Samaria Gorge - Strange Plant
This strange plant was standing on the pathway. Many wildlife plants and animals were in the gorge, and it's good that they are protected because many of them are rare!
This reminds me again though of the fires that destroyed the most beautiful parts of Greece, the damage there is irreversible!
