Paphos Life

Pomos is quite a trip from Paphos, but it is most definitely worth it. We were up that way to visit some abandoned villages and overflowing reservoirs this week, but stopped to take in the coast along the way. The countryside up there is breathtaking, and well worth a visit. Here's a short selection of what to expect.

Read the article and chat about it below...
 

Nice photos from that beaches. The drawing in the sand is not manmade but from the snake you photographed. It looks to me more than a viper than a coin snake though. The shrub in one of the pics is thyme in its winter look....

It is a coin snake no resemblance to a viper!

I thought it was a coin snake too, but if you google pictures some of the blunt nosed vipers have similar markings.

There's no way a snake made the hand in the sand though. Not unless it jumped to the rocks afterwards.

I also think its a coin snake, as according to me a viper doesn't have such a long narrow tail. But.... I might be wrong. I kept looking at the first picture, but cannot locate the snake there. Lovely area isn't it.

I thought that it was a blunt nose (viper), because its body looked too thick to be a coin snake. But as this snake was coiled, I couldn’t see its head or its tail properly. But I agree that is markings weren’t typical of other vipers I have seen.

There are only footprints from animals, not any from humans. So how was that "hand" produced then?

A very artistic snake indeed! Maybe it was on the Zivania!

By the person who left the tracks.
