APRIL WEATHER WAS... Changeable during the first couple of weeks - sometimes very stormy. Wet and cold enough to warrant lighting the fires - but how this has changed! May is gorgeous..... Road to Afrata Copyright - Cretanvista.gr Picture: Beyond the bend at the top of the first real climb on the road from Kolimbari to Afrata, on the left, is a rough lay by. The field at the side is green with grass and shrubs and has many small wild flowers right now. Looking out over the bay of Chania you will see the coastline running from Maleme to Chania. Backed by the western side of the magnificent white mountains beyond which lies the Omalos plateau. Countryside Page Expansion... We are working frantically right now to obtain as many high quality photographs as possible of the flora of the Rodopos peninsula - particularly here at it's base - where the lack of extensive use of weed killers on fields and verges encourages wild flowers to flourish. Whilst there is some use of weed killers it's use is not extensive. Meanwhile. Work on getting the results onto our site/s is 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... |
