MAY WEATHER WAS... Apart from a couple of storms late in the month, absolutely gorgeous. But beware, the sun in this part of the world can be very dangerous.. Battle of Crete Anniversary Battle of Crete - Maleme Copyright - Cretanvista.gr Picture: 2003 is the 62nd Anniversary of the WW II Battle of Crete. On 21st May 1941 German forces invaded Crete from the air - gaining their first real foothold on the airfield at Maleme (almost picture centre) using crack Alpine paratroops. A now dwindling number of Veterans of both sides visit each year to commemorate the battle... And no doubt to pay homage to their comrades who died here. Now buried in the Allied war graves cemetery at Souda Bay and German War cemetery at Maleme. Our picture is from the 60th Anniversary.... Click Picture to enlarge. Countryside Page...A Few days... Will be online in a few days time - around the 12th or 14th June. The first flower galleries will follow not too long afterwards and we have a small number of photographs of our local fauna which we hope will attract the interest of those who are more interested in wildlife of a more mobile kind. And yes, there will be a couple of butterfly photographs - but I promise nothing - they don't seem to keep still for long. Meanwhile. Work on getting the results onto our site/s is still under serious pressure time-wise. It really is a catch 22! Time we spend out on photography is doubled with identification and preparing the pictures for the web. Getting the pages themselves up is the easy part, and when we do........ And when we do... |
Holiday Makers arrive.... Of those we have seen, two groups were particularly noticeable. The second, two short-sporting shirtless gentlemen wearing bandana's on their heads and roller blades on their feet literally 'Roller bladed' past me - against the traffic flow - on the hard shoulder of my side of the main highway between the Gerani and Tavronitis
junctions.... An extremely dangerous stretch which has claimed several lives. |
