I don’t think electric vehicles will ever catch on mainly because the support infrastructure will never be good enough – I believe hybrid self support vehicles are the way forward but will they be doing enough to combat pollution and the alledged global warming. I think petrol and diesel vehicles w...

First hint: Distance from my place, from where I photographed, is ca 21 km as the crow flies....

I'm still against domestic PV in this country, I'm a hypocrite. I don't believe that it is environmentally viable as rooftop systems here. I'm doing it because I have a few €€€ available and, being in an all-electric house with many appliances, except CH, am fed up paying through the nose to the EA...

Same area after winter rains... February 2018



Max

Not only from far distance is this village nice looking.... who knows its name?



Max

Wow! >9000 views, that explains perhaps why they are recently more busy on a Saturday, like yesterday when there were 18 cars parked. When I asked them why they are so busy these 3 weeks, they said: weather is unusual nice for the time of the year....specially weekends. I am always there as early as...

It looks like that we will get the first proper winter rain this week, starting from Monday to have its peak on Thursday. As November was quite dry, good rain would very soon change the colours of the countryside from greyish to green... here a photo from last week https://up.picr.de/37382333fa.jpg ...

Whoa!!

Why no pics of your plated lunch etc ??

I don't want people to get too jealous every time I post photos from the delicious fish I am enjoying...

Max

Just to show how beautiful the weather was today lunchtime at the fish tavern Timi Beach... Also the temperature with 22c was pleasant enough to enjoy fresh fish at the veranda with the view towards the sea and the now closed area near the waterfront. https://up.picr.de/37376126mo.jpg but there were...

I posted on here, a solar installation that opens like a flower and closes at night and under windy conditions, automatically, it looks like a 5m diameter daisy! https://smartflower.com/residential 2D2B1672-F2DF-46A3-9573-F27CA6F1F6EA.jpeg The problem with movable PV installations is that they are ...

Excellent night photography, Dominic Thank you. Knowing how difficult it is to produce nice pictures at night, my favourite is on page 3 #12 the shot of the fountain.... just fabulous

Max

Yes, Max. Unfortunately, the grid here is unsuitable to profit very much from rooftop systems, with a plethora of tiny transformers on poles serving fewer than 20 houses (for the techies, phase and waveform errors). The overall efficiency of fed-back power is within the range of 20-70%. Where I am,...

When I am out and about doing 360 photography I sometimes get confused as a hunter, because the camera is on the end of a selfie stick. I have been doing extensive shooting in the Archaeological Park recently, and recently emerged from a random thicket to find two security guards waiting for me. I ...

Again, a good reason to start considering the installation of a own photo-voltaic system, while electricity prices are rising much more in the near future, it won't affect you anymore. A 2-monthly electricity bill of ca 28 Euro after installed a 3 kWp system is easy to realise and the guarantees for...

Nice to read about the amount of money Game Service is nowadays charging, this hurts.... and it should. Hopefully it scares people away as the forests should really not used as "hunting areas". This time a year people like to go mushrooming in the forest and not be afraid to be shot from hunters... ...

Can anyone recommend a company who supplies/installs air heat pumps in Cyprus?

One of the leading companies to install heat pumps for domestic and large hotels can be found in PL directory..

Max, I always thought the best heat pumps were about 50% efficient.... German engineering? They are talking in this ad about yearly yields: winner on the market are heat pumps with COP ca 5! For these ones you would get subsidy in Germany of 2000 Euro and low interest loans from KfW bank....From 20...

German advertising

Most profound video I ever watched, but... it changed my bad mood today
