Photographs of nature, places and objects that have caught my eye.

Φωτογραφίες απο την φύση, απο τόπους και αντικείμενα που μου χτύπησαν στο μάτι.

Mt Pindos. The national park of Valia Calda (The Warm Valley). (IV) Πίνδος. Εθνικός Δρυμός Βάλια Κάλντα. (IV)

The track was not bad for a 4X4 to negotiate. But,  sometimes, you were facing something like what you see. And you had to come out and check if you can squeeze in between the fallen rocks or take the outside lane. And check what was happening outside the outer lane. which was something like this:
Ο δρόμος δεν ήταν τόσο άσχημος για το τζιπάκι. Αλλά καμμιά φορά είχες ν' αντιμετωπίσης κάτι σαν κι αυτό που βλέπετε. Κι έπρεπε να σταματήσεις για να ελέγξεις αν χωράς ανάμεσα στους δυό βράχους, ή να πάρεις την εξωτερική λωρίδα. Και τι υπήρχε παραέξω από την εξωτερική. Κάτι σαν κι αυτό :
But every stop was an opportunity to admire and photograph new beautiful landscape.
Αλλά κάθε στάση ήταν ακόμη μια ευκαιρία να θαυμάσης και να φωτογραφίσης περισσότερη ομορφιά.

Ω!!! Μα εδώ μέσα είναι υπέροχα. Χαίρομαι που έκανα το στιγμιαίο ταξίδι και μπήκα. Τι ομορφιές θεέ μου. Νομίζω ότι θα αναγκαστείς να με υφίστασαι.
Ανάσανα ειλικρινά!!

The purple flower looks like a type of penstemmon.looks like you might need to put a pry bar in the truck for those tight squeezes.

Such wild and beautiful scenery - and those roads are just what I recall of Crete. Not so good in a hire car!!

Spectacular views, a little rough if you have to use the outside lane, I would say. Reminds me a bit of some of our National parks here. Love those lovely periwinkle coloured posies too~

I would hate to be on that road, or in the forest when those boulders came tumbling down! But it was worth the drive! What beauty!
