Snow is not something uncommon for the Troodos Mountains in Cyprus during winter months, although lately we get less and less of it. This one was taken last January, following a snowing night.
For those interested, this is a morning shot with Nikon D750 and Nikon 14-24 mm f/2.8; exposure for 15 seconds using Lee’s Big Stopper, plus the 0.9 soft grad. Framed at 16 mm, at f/11 and ISO 100.
Thanks a lot for stopping by, your comments and feedback are always welcomed and very much appreciated!
Cyprus day 2, Cape Greco.
At the base of the cliff I spotted this black-eared wheatear. It was quite distance and there was no way I was going to try and scramble over the rocks to get closer so only a record shot. This is the pale throated morph of the eastern race (melanoleuce) which has a more extensive face mask.
The small town of Polis, which in Greek simply means ‘town’, overlooks a beautiful bay, with its warm, clear and safe seas. With its quaint sandstone buildings around a pedestrianised town centre with its restaurants, bars and souvenir shops, it is a delightful place to explore.
The small church of Agios Nikolaos in the pedestrian precinct is also used for Catholic masses.
Polis is a 45 minute drive from Pafos airport and just over two hours from Nicosia.

On this visit to Cyprus we decided to make a day trip to the northern coast. This is the busy harbour of Kyrenia - a lovely location with lots of places to eat and enjoy the hustle and bustle of the harbour despite the heat!
To reach the northern part of the island it is necessary to cross the United Nations Buffer Zone {The Green Line} which has separated the two parts of Cyprus since the Turkish invasion of 1974. On entering the north a sign welcomes you to the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus but in reality the state is not recognised by any country in the world apart from Turkey.

The city of Kyrenia dates back to 10th century BC. The Kyreniacastle was built in the 7th century AD. The beautiful port is home to some exquisite restaurants, shops, and its cafe's serve incredible espresso.

Ayia Kyriaki Church - The Church by St Paul’s Pillar. This is a really beautiful old church. Very atmospheric and sits well amid the ruins of a church destroyed in AD59 by an earthquake. See paphosanglicanchurch.org/our-churches/ayia-kyriaki/
