Beautiful pictures. Thank you. It was certainly like dusk for the whole night (until bedtime )

Glad you like my pics. I am waiting since days to photograph the Milky Way but it is too much humidity and the full moon doesn't help either...

Crystal hunting and photography are two of my favourite hobbies. While the search for crystals in the countryside is not only interesting and healthy as you move your body a bit more than usual, photographing the items later at home completes the hobby and keeps them in good condition in your photo ...

Clay pigeons are used in Cyprus. By the Evretou Reservoir there is a water tank, on top of a big hill. If you go up there you will first of all get some stonking views of the surrounding area. Secondly, you will see lots of clay pigeons that have been shot at. Yeah, it is the "Paphos Shooting Range...

Absolutely beautiful! Thank you. This is the article (Google translated) from PaphosPress 2 days ago: "In the most famous and romantic full moon of the year we will have the opportunity to enjoy tonight. The August full moon, which coincides with the 15th of August this year, has inspired many arti...

It supposed to be a very special full moon on the 15th, so I took my camera and tried to produce some pics and what I could see with my eyes was great. However there was so much humidity in lower levels that the photos are a bit blurred though... Moon rise near the wind park https://up.picr.de/36526...

Nope Dominic, but a little hint: I did the shot from a nice resting spot which you showed in one of your blogs...

Agios Isidhoras is not the village, the view from their church towards the bay is a bit similar though...

First wanted to say Pissouri but I think we are looking towards Akamas with the 2 white buildings at the beach being the Anassa hotel?
Is it Neo Chorio?

No Andreas, Neo Chorio one can see in the far distance left hand side....

Under certain conditions, I understand that soft tissue can completely decompose leaving a void, like a mould, which can fill over millenia with minerals deposited from solution. An incredible find, Max, and certainly appears like an octopus. Jon. I am planning to visit the place again in the near ...

On one of my last trips I came along a steep hill site where I noticed a lot of fossilized shells, but much more interesting was that: https://up.picr.de/36514047lf.jpg and I assumed that I can see the remains of an octopus, ca 30 cm large.... anybody has got an idea what it could be otherwise? here...

An easier one this time: what is the name of the village in the foreground?

Here the link of the Dept.of Antiquities to show with photos what's all about....

So, nobody knew it to my surprise after the hints I gave....
