Sunshine on the mountains. Λιακάδα ψηλά στην Πίνδο, κοντά στο Μέτσοβο.

While driving for the lake you have seen on my earlier posts, I stopped to take some photographs of the scenery at a plateau not far from the lake. It looks like some chicken grabbed the chance to go out also and enjoy the sunshine, and search for a warm or have a bite of the fresh spring grass. The first photograph is a panoramic view of the area.
Καθ' οδόν από τα Γρεβενά για την λίμνη των πηγών του Αώου, σταμάτησα για λίγο για να χαρώ τη λιακάδα και να τραβήξω τις φωτογραφίες που βλέπετε. Φαίνετα πως μερικές κότες απολαμβάνουν επίσης την λιακάδα  και όχι μόνο. Η πρώτη φωτογραφία είναι μια πανοραμικη συρραφή μερικών από τις άλλες. 
Τα βουνά στό βάθος εiναι τα Τζουμέρκα της Ηπείρου.

I love the high country like that with some grassland and rugged mountains. Do you know what the elevation is? Your pictures of it bring me right in, almost like I'm there.

I also thought you might like my animal art blog. I don't know if you've seen it yet, but you like animals and you like art. This has been a fun blog for me:

Amazing panorama Costas. The snow on the mountains looks like a beautiful lace, from the distance, especially in the third photo.
Have a nice week!

Beuatiful shots--I was surprised to see snow--I think of glistening blue oceans and bright white buildings in the sunshine when I envision Greece--thank you for making my daydreams more interesting and for stopping by my blog--I will visit again and look forward to seeing and learning more! c

Beautiful shots Costas, the scenery reminds me a little of some areas not far from my home. The chickens do seem to be enjoying the sun.

Beautiful shots. I love the rounded whiteness of the snow, and the crisp blueness of the sky.

They are so nice Costas, the snow looks like cottons scattered on lush green mountains.

Stunningly beautiful scenery. What I also like is seeing so many photo and choosing favorites. For me, #1 and #6 (almost like a post-impressionistic painting).
