NetsThis home owner has channeled the seasonal stream that passes his house.In a courtyard by the sea.Moss, weed, water grasses and algae are all flourishing in the flooded areas of Pedi bay.A fig leaf for spring.Sunlight catches wet rocks on the slopes above Pedi.Revealed.One of the places where the fresh water is seeping out of the rocks and into the sea.Boat-painting season on the beach at Apostoli’s in Pedi.The truth about crop circles.Clearing the football pitch and running track after the flood of 13 November 2017.Does blue suit me? Even the local livestock are doing their bit to clean up the sports field.Rural idyll.Twins!Clean Monday skyEarly morning view.This was the island’s only bus when I first came here. Thanassis who is now a taxi driver was the bus driver. It was just narrow enough to make it down the steep short cut through Chorio and drop people off at the Chorio Hotel.The calm before the storm – Clean Monday afternoon.Considering the lilies of the field.
On the beach at Apostoli’s.A chilly little breeze.A shack in a desirable location.Beach house.No umbrellas.Pedi pastoral.This stone and wrought iron gate was washed into the bay by the flood on 13 November 2017. Watch out for it coming alongside the taxi boat jetty.Seaweed along the waterfront in Pedi. On the right you can see how the winter storms and salt spray have nibbled away at the reinforced concrete framework of a house. The framework might be earthquake proof but it isn’t weather proof.When winter storms literally come knocking at your door.Co-ordinated colours at Apostoli’s. In the summer this is a beach, in a winter it is part of the boat yard.A useful shedAlmond blossom in the mistAlmonds and olivesPerhaps they should arrange for someone to collect their post in the winter.The men from DEH, the Power Corporation. No matter how cold the wind, they climb the poles with crampons and get on with the job.A carpeted foredeckSunlight catching the wind on the water.Jungle cat, wading through the swamps of Pedi.This is supposed to be a barley field.How did this survive the winter?Rhapsody in red
