Maronas Time Warp
1964
As it's a new page, I am showing this again, so you can easily compare...
It's Just a Jump To The Left
Moving a few paces left, I was able to take this picture. The mosque is still there, but the verandah behind it has gone. The building to the right of the mosque is now just a couple of walls, and the buildings on the opposite side haven't fared much better. Pigs are now kept in the building to the left of the road in this picture, next to where the lorry was parked.
Pigs
This is a closer view of where the lorry was parked. It does puzzle me a bit how some buildings have weathered time much better than others.
View From The Ground
This is the view from Maronas. The previous photographs were taken on the ridge on the far left of this shot.
Troodos View
Looking at the older pictures Tommy has shown me, there would appear to be less vegetation back in 1964. Would this be due to the greater reliance then on wood as a heating source, or just because there were more people living in the valley then?
