Paphos Life

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....

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...

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

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...

What a beautiful December day it was today, no cloud from the morning until after lunch and warm enough to sit outside in the sunshine and have some nice fish. There were people they moved table out of the sun as it was too hot for them to eat with 24c in the shade. Catch of the day was Sorgos, just...

Strangely I didn't find it too cold this morning. And certainly, now the sun is up in an almost cloudless blue sky it is very pleasant out I had the same night temperature of 14c like the 3 days before, which is much higher than other years in December. Only difference was the humidity with 95 % RH...

The small sea wall around the harbour, once extended the length of the sea front. It didn't look awful and it presumably didn't put tourists off from coming here. Well, I did not like the old wall, it looked horrible as one can see on the photo from the past, showing the wall opposite Elean ..... h...

Just out of curiosity: on the same date, 29.11. however 4 years back, I photographed the sun with more clouds, which I like even more....
