This is home for the next three weeks. I shall not be doing much Flickring! Or anything much else either!

One day on Crete I was alone on my way to Omalos, where the entrance of the famous Samaria gorge is. My family prefered to relax at the hotel pool and that gave me the oportunity to go on a photo excursion.

On this journey I drove through beautiful landscapes. After every hill I get a new fantastic expression of the island. At Lakkoi I get this wonderful view. Lakkoi is 450 metres high, below the White Mountains which rise another 1,000 metres to the south. Most of the houses cling to steep slopes covered in olive and chestnut trees, reached through narrow roads or tracks that run down from the main square. Traditionally the villagers have cultivated olives and raised goats, sheep and chickens. With limited work opportunities, the population has declined from a peak of around 2,000 to about 400 today.

sea, mountains, sun, vineyards, olives and more olives. That's Crete for you.

Die Crete Senesi ist eine wellige, karge Landschaft der Toskana südlich von Siena auf halber Strecke nach San Quirico d'Orcia. Die sanften Hügel mit den alleinstehenden Zypressen haben diese Landschaft bekannt gemacht. Im Sommer präsentiert sich die Crete Senesi nicht mehr grün sondern wüstenähnlich in braun-gelb.

 

The Crete Senesi is a undulating, barren landscape in Tuscany south of Siena on half way to San Quirico d'Orcia. The soft hills with the solitaire cypresses made this landscape wellknown. In summer the Crete Senesi present itself not longer in green but rather in a desert-like brown-yellow.

Crete. Greece. 2009.9

 

It was my first Mid-Autumn Festival in Europe.We guys took pictures and drunk beside the sea.That was a wonderful full-moon night.

Crete is the largest and most populous of the Greek islands and the fifth largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. It forms a significant part of the economy and cultural heritage of Greece while retaining its own local cultural traits . Crete was the centre of the Minoan civilization (c. 2700–1420 BC), the earliest "high culture" civilization in Europe, which built the first palaces in Europe.

Crete, Greece, 2016

 

An einem zweiten Ort in der Nähe von Eklisia haben wir unsere Frühstücks-Tages-Kletter-Chill-Schnorchelrunde wiederholt. Dabei habe ich die interessanten Gesteinsformationen mal genauer abgelichtet. Man sieht die tektonischen Spannungen förmlich, welche die Gesteinsschichten auseinandersprengten. Die Natur hat verschiedene Arten von Gestein durcheinander gewürfelt. Schiefer, Gesteinsschichtteile, schwammartige Steine türmen sich vor den im Hintergrund schief aus dem Meer ragenden Gesteinsschichten.

Man findet hier auch eine Menge "klassischen" Schiefer. Richtig dünne und große Tafeln, welche auf den Fotos nicht zu sehen sind. Aber man sieht das schwammartige Gestein. Hier scheint das Meer das chemisch schwächere Gestein ausgespült zu haben, wirklich sehr interessant.

A traditional cretan town, with a blend of Venetian and Turkish influences.

 

Following the Fourth Crusade in 1204, Crete was assigned to the Venetians who retained it for the next 400 years. Churches, loggias, houses and fountains in the Venetian style can still be seen today.

The church of St Vaslios, Koutouloufari, originally 14th century, restored after a bad fire in the 19th. I was lucky enough to visit when the cleaner was there, and had the altar screens open, enabling me to see through into the apse, that is normally hidden from view. The altar screens are stunning.
