Cyprus day 7. Agia Varvara.
I decided to start the day trying for some better little crake shots. This proved to be a poor decision in that as the birds got closer they were in the shade and the light was poor anyway being just after dawn. Whilst in the sun it was still pretty dark.
After an hour or so I went to Asprokremmos dam but saw nothing new there.
One of the new offices of the Government for offering all kind of services to citizens (so that they don't have to go to each ministry separately) with jacaranda trees in front.
Taken in Spring last year.
Nicosia, Cyprus
The sun sets after another hot April day in Cyprus. I saw the water between the rocks and waited for a reflection, albeit small, of the sun in the small pool of water.
I've been revisiting some old photographs I took before I had a Flickr account. Most of them never got posted here, and all of them needed some reworking and overhauling to be somewhat presentable.
This was taken in 2001 in Chrysochou Bay, in northwest Cyprus, with my first digital camera: a 2MP Canon Digital Ixus.
I caught this shot whilst walking around Nicosia in Cyprus. The owner of the coffee shop was taking a smoke break.

Cyprus day 6. Agia Varvara.
After the mourning wheatear at Mandria I went to have a look at the pools at Agia Varvara.
I started with the pools west of the stream and soon found a squacco heron hiding in the grass/reeds. Eventually it had enough of my presence and took to the air.
Had sundowners at Kouklia Beach Bar, Cyprus.
That was last week.
Now back home in Lancashire to mizzle drizzle!
Hoping for some sunny, autumnal days soon.
couldn't resist another one of the pool at the gorgeous Columbia Beach Resort at Pissouri Bay. Our room was the first floor above the third arch from the lerft between the two palms reflected on the water.

Ayia Kyriaki Chrysopolitissa -
This church, which dates from around 1500, is built on the ruins of a much larger late Roman basilica. It's unusual in that it seems to be shared between the Orthodox, Anglican and Latin churches. Perhaps that is because the site is considered especially holy, since the Roman basilica is itself built over or next to a place (presumably the local synagogue) said to have been visited by St Paul (Acts 13:6-12).

Spyros Achilleos Kyprianou (28 October 1932 – 12 March 2002) was a Cypriot barrister and politician, who served as President of Cyprus from 1977 to 1988. He also served as President of the Cypriot House of Representatives from 1976 to 1977 and then again from 1996 to 2001, as well as being President of the Democratic Party, which he founded, from 1976 to 2000. As President, he considerably expanded Cyprus' presence on the international stage. He entered office in acting capacity following the death of President Makarios III in 1977, before being elected unopposed for the rest of Makarios' term in the resulting by-election the following month. He was elected for the next full term in 1978, again unopposed, and re-elected for a second full term 1983, but lost his bid to secure a third full term in 1988.
