The view


The above photo is taken by my man and is actually, as it says, the view from my Paradissi. I have never mentioned it before, but the name of my blog is after a really hearted place of mine called Paradissi. It is located in southern Crete, right outside my village (a small village on the mountains called Melampes) and it's a very beautiful and powerful spot on earth (I am not objective, I love my roots a little too much..) This mountain in the photo is called Kedros and during wintertime the clouds run over it like a huge, eternal wave creating the most amazing view.
There, I said it. Hope you can visit our land someday, it is most definitely worth it!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful view. I often wondered about your "Paradissi". I loved Crete when I was there many years ago. Someday I hope to go back.

gorgeous Eleni, I went in Crete once 7 yrs ago... but stayed mostly in Tersanas (acropolis north west) and I felt in love with Chania... daily part not touristic one...

Absolutely gorgeous! I recently snapped some photos of Spanish Moss that remind me of the gentle shading of the colors in your picture - thanks for sharing!
