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.
Seen somewhere in London. This Volvo is registered to Cyprus which is a brilliant country to spot being rare throughout Europe. The Volvo seems to have been delivered by a dealer in Italy and judging by the model I would say it was bought from new.
I Love this Tree. Located In Paphos Cyprus Near St. George Island and Sea Caves. An area with much wind.
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.
One of the dogs found on the Island of Cyprus is the Cyprus Poodle. Some people say that the Cyprus Poodle is a cross between a poodle and a terrier. Today this small dog is sought after in other countries for their loving personality and attractive looks.
The Cyprus Poodle is such an attractive little dog with its jaunty personality and dense, curly hair. They stand in the region of 20 to 30cm high and can weigh roughly 3 to 6kg. They are a small dog. Their curly coat is woolly and can be in a number of different colours such as white, ivory or apricot or even other colours. They have floppy ears, a long tail and brown eyes.
They love swimming and they will require a bath every now and again to keep their beautiful coat clean and free of matting. The Cyprus Poodle is an even tempered dog and they make the perfect family pet, forming close bonds with their human family members. They are playful, social and friendly and get on well with children in the home as well as any other pets. They may be a small, friendly dog, but they will need training and socialisation if you want them to be obedient and relaxed around other people.

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).

Wonderful palm tree 🌴 lined promenade along Larnaca seafront. Our Greek Independence Day holiday took us here from Limassol today to see the local schools, scouts and firemen march along the promenade. Followed by lunch on the seafront. A great day out!

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.
Had a few moments at a work conference to grab sunset. not a great deal of foreground interest but the pebbles reflected the sun nicely.
The original performance space for the Asolo Repertory Theatre was housed in a historic theatre that was initially located in Asolo, Italy just outside of Venice. Built in 1798 by Italian impresario Antonio Locatelli, the theatre stood in the former audience hall of the castle of Caterina Cornaro, the former Queen of Cyprus. The horse-shoe shaped theatre contains four tiers of boxes and was modeled after La Fenice. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries the building was the home theatre of the great Italian actress Eleonora Duse.[2]
In 1930, the Asolo Theatre was dismantled and put into storage. In 1949 the museum director of the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art learned of the theatre's existence and saw the theatre as an ideal acquisition for the museum. The State of Florida agreed and purchased the theatre which was crated and shipped to Sarasota, Florida. In 1952 the theatre was set up in a gallery in the Ringling museum. In the late 1950s it was decided that the theatre should be reconstructed so that modern theatre performances could be staged. The reconstructed theatre therefore incorporates the historic architecture into a building that is modern in design.[2]
The Asolo Theatre opened its doors on January 10, 1958 with a production of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Die Entführung aus dem Serail. Presented by the New York City Opera, the production was directed and conducted by Julius Rudel. The opera starred Robert Rounseville as Belmonte, Beverly Bower as Konstanze, Herbert Beattle as Osmin, and Jacquelynne Moody as Blonde.
The theatre has since been moved to another location on the Ringling grounds and is now known as The Historic Asolo Theatre. The Asolo Repertory Company still puts on a few productions there each year, but it is no longer its primary location. Most shows for the Rep Company are performed at the Mertz Theatre, which is housed in the Florida State University Center for the Performing Arts, which is across the street.
