Snow on the mountain
« on: January 11, 2015, 11:07:23 AM »
As it has turned out to be a sunny day today and not too cold we decided to have a stroll into the fields around the village to see what wild flowers might be appearing. Nothing much to see but the view of the Troodos range in the distance shows some snow up there. The highest point, where the 'golf balls' can just be made out is Chionistra at 1,952 metres.
Cyprus Branch Head. Gardens in a field 40 m above sea level with reasonably fertile clay soil.
