Island Snow!
The year’s first snow. Just in time for Christmas.
(Two days ago, at Troodos. Picture of dog accompanied by first hot chocolate of the year.)
Happy holidays, everyone.

Not in the city of course. (That happens very very rarely. About every twelve years or so.)
Slide film pictures, scanned and posted from snowy Mount Olympus. (Not really–but how would you know?)

summer is over. long live the summer.
Summer in Cyprus lasts from May to October.
July and August in the city are kind of insufferable. That’s when you stay in with the air-conditioner on all day and only emerge at night.
Or, if you can, take to the beach or mountains.
