Dans la forêt de Haute-Sève un rocher à la forme étrange et attirante se détache de la végétation qui l'entoure. Le visage d'un être ancien semble émerger du sol.
The Patris was a paddling Steamer, one of the first in Greece, Sailing towards the Archipelago of the Greek Islands, when it hit a Reef in foggy conditions. All souls were saved, the ship broke in two parts and rests today in crystal clear waters between 30 and 54m depth just ouside the Island of Kea. The Ship sank 1868, and still it stands strong against natures forces.

Old year you must not die;
You came to us so readily,
You lived with us so steadily,
Old year you shall not die.
Goodbye old year.
Sometimes sitting and reflecting on things is one of the most comforting feelings in the world....

During the prehistoric period the area was inhabited by Mycenaean Greeks. The city itself was founded by the Dorians. The temple foundations were begun at least as early as the eighth century BC. The earthquake of 226 BC destroyed the city and the temple. The earthquake of 142 AD destroyed the city for the second time.
The Ancient Limber Pine stand is in the lee of the Continental Divide, just 5 miles south and west of Fairplay, Colorado. Many of the trees on this site are in excess of 1,000 years old. Dead snags are interspersed with trees that hang on, year after year, under fierce, battering winds and extreme cold at 11,200 feet on Sheep Mountain.
Live trees may have limbs or a portion of the trunk that have lost their bark, exposing wood to the elements. Many trees (including this one) show burn marks from lightning strikes. The colors and textures of raw wood delight artistic esthetics.
An ancient submerged forest is visible at certain times of the year at low tide along the stretch of shore at Borth. Pine, Oak, Birch and Willow stumps can be seen when the tide retreats up to 150 yards.The normally submerged forest has become associated with a 17th Century myth of a sunken civilization known as Cantre'r Gwaelod, or the Sunken Hundred.
According to the legend, the kingdom was lost at sea when Seithenyn, the guardian of sea defences, forgot to close the gates. In one version of the myth, the forest stretched 20 miles to the west of Cardigan Bay.
