Paphos Life

But if you live in cyprus, most of your journeys are short distances, you can charge up your EV at home with (almost) free solar power and only occassionally feel the urge to travel from coast to coast (150 miles?) then maybe you should think about a reasonably priced EV for your next car purchase ...

So, the German forecast was correct, as it started 5.30 PM and it was spectacular viewing from my place with lightnings for 3 hours towards the wind park...

Yes exactly, it supposed to be on the ocean around 5 PM...., so we see what happens

Perfect place to photograph thunder & lightning today and tomorrow ..... however Saturday/Sunday the sun will be back

sadly, I don't think that the people of the Ukraine will have the time, nor the inclination, to login to PL. I never mentioned that people in the Ukraine will read that posting, but all the thousands they are staying in Cyprus (>8000) and visiting Paphos Life as guests or members won't like that ty...

Wow, that's stunning! What a lovely way for you to start the day. Sadly, I was fast asleep... Well, that's my circadian clock which makes me wake up every day and is synchronized with solar time. I can't wait to open the blinds and have a look what happens outside.... The images are even more impre...

Nice drone fly... Thank you Dominic. I wonder if the Kouris dam will be empty next year as it was in 2008 when water-laden tanker from Greece tried to help out the drought then. So far the input of water to the dam from Kouris river is very poor and the transfer via pipe from Arminou dam still stand...

By the way, when I took the pics 6.30 I went barefoot outside as there was no humidity and the temperature was one of the highest with 15.2c in this weeks. Having lunch at the seafront at Timi beach the temperature reached 25c, so red morning sky obviously lost its meaning: "red sky in morning,...

I don't think the people in Ukraine will find that photo composition funny....

With the very first daylight I realised a kind of red in the sky and got dressed and the camera ready. Lucky I did as suddenly the sky went really red for about 5 minutes at 6.30, well before sunrise and disappeared again... https://up.picr.de/46780310zv.jpg clouds on the horizon, not mountains... h...

Here a screenshot from Bing maps, bird view, of the old Police station how it looked some years ago....

Beautiful.... specially at this speed

People still swimming this time of year

Max

Nice walk for people fit enough as obviously you are... :) and very nice photos. I must admit that I was only once on that trail, even when i lived in that area and funnily enough I was attacked by a huge mouflon then. :lol: As I was car-mad in the mid-eighties and always tried to find out the limit...

Yesterday I spoke to Greenair and was told that for the foreseeable future the EAC will not be able to switch off your PV-device because they don't have the necessarry technical infrastructure yet. Well, that's exactly what I mentioned in my post above: "Necessary is in Cyprus that EAC install...

I am surprised of this "Our view" article in Cyprus Mail today as it is spot-on. (which happens not too often!) People living on Island should read that and perhaps have their own opinion about the recent development of Greek/Turkish relations. I am certainly not a friend of Erdogan's poli...

The wind farm will hopefully be getting a workout then... So far not, yesterday the windmills turned only sometimes and today since the early morning they don't move at all..... As the unsettled weather will continue until Saturday, there is still a chance though specially tonight and tomorrow. Max

Light rain and thunder already at my place above Paphos town...

Max

Many times red sky in the mornings indicates bad weather is coming and it looks like this time it is like that...

10 minutes before sunrise




and here the sun, only for a very short time

Not only my favourite club, FC Bayern Munich cancelled the Saturday afternoon game due to snowfall, the whole area around Munich came to a standstill as the airport was closed until Sunday, railway stopped completely and also buses. People were called to stay home if possible, however also massive p...
