Hot and Hazy Days in August

Sunflowers in Chorio.  As you  can see from the holes in the leaves, the insect life is undeterred by the heat.



A rare opening at the clock tower.
The building with the radio aerial in the right foreground is the Gymnasium, the academic high school, just below the Kali Strata in Chorio.

Olives leaves and shadecloth. 
It has been many months now since we last had rain and even the hardy indigenous olive trees are shedding leaves from the stress.  The almond trees are almost completely bald now and the developing fruits on the citrus trees are burnt brown.

A cheerful doorway on the Kali Strata.

Who needs a terrace?  A favourite chair placed under the shade of a small vine on the Kali Strata, ideal for chatting to friends and neighbours as they go up and down the steps in the course of the day.

A comfortable snooze spot.
