GREECE OFF THE BEATEN PATH #4698A
Pindus mountains, Thessaly, Central Greece.
The Pindus Mountains form the principal range and backbone of mainland Greece, trending north-northwest–south-southeast from Albania to central Greece north of the Peloponnese. The highest point of the range is 8,651 feet (2,637 metres) in the Smólikas massif, near the Albanian border. Forested with oak, fir, beech, and pine, the Pindus creates a barrier for the westerly weather fronts, which puts the Thessalian plain to the east in a rain shadow. The mountains, snowcapped in winter, receive heavy rainfall that feeds such rivers as the Achelous and Mégdhova on the western slopes and the Pineiós and Aliákmon on the eastern.
This photograph was taken during a short visit to the region, with my English wife Theresa Jane Brown, on 17th & 18th, April, 2012.
