The End of November

The view from Symi Visitor Accommodation on Monday morning - grey, blustery and extreme rain forecast.  Winter has been a long time coming but it looks as though it is finally going to hit us this week.

Sunday was dry and bright and everyone seemed to be taking advantage of the last good drying day for a while to get the washing done.  I walked down to Pedi in a haze of Marseilles soap and lavender fabric softener.

Wild crocuses on the Pedi road.

Fallen olives.

The carpenter by the power station is growing some fine looking cabbages.

Washday on the sunny side of the bay.

Reflections

Bijou waterfront residence with roof garden.

This cave on the hillside could use a little work.

Wind and solar power.

This cave, on the other hand, has been fully optimised and even has a fire place.

Fishing boats large and small.

In the summer this is a tourist beach.  In the winter boats are dragged up the beaches, just as they were in Homeric times.
