Could this bridge have replaced a medieval one that might of been there back in the day? Well, part of an old Roman road from Limassol to Palaepaphos (Kouklia) one can still see and use when you drive from Alektora village (Limassol district) towards Aphrodite hills via the surrounding hills with a...

Interesting but hardly medieval, the river appears to go right up alongside the Secret valley golf course but then looks like it just ends, must be a lot of water coming down that way when it rains. 8-) The river is called Cha-Potami and is one of the longest rivers in Cyprus. The spring is near Pa...

Don't worry, when there is nothing else I can do except going to bed I enjoy to wait for good results, however as there is obviously not much interest in night pics, I can't be bothered to spent time and post it on here in future....

I expected a lot of lightnings last evening and when it started I unplugged power from internet connection, for security reasons and had so time to watch what happens outside towards the Kouklia windpark through closed window. First my favourite one, showing the windmill lights as well... https://up...

Screen shot Elean webcam after the heavy storm last night. (8.30 AM). Harbour promenade does not look that bad, even without a sea front wall.

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...

Max

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....

Max

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...
