Walk on Thirassia
Island that is a bit like Oia dating 60 years back
No tourists and only recently the one main road got asphalted till half of the island
A school class with 7 teachers has 6 students and the goods like clothing's you buy from a car that visits the island for 4 hours
Old terasses where wine used to grow
Abandoned houses and decaying walls on abandoned places
Land gets plowed with one iron-plow and a donkey
And hunting small birds is a popular habit
It makes me smile

The hand sculpted island

-
we went looking for an abandoned village in one of the valleys of Thirassia
gossip was ´´A empty old village, covered with lemon-tree´s . and people haven´t been
there in years and years´´

we found the village...a few lemon tree´s indeed...lots of cacti blocking entrances of houses
some 20 houses empty.
Geraniums from the owners that left grow wildly

lunch on one of the roofs

-
Pumice-stone was mined on Thirassia and one of the use was in their architecture
used for making the roof because of the ability to be strong but not heavy, keeping out the heat and moist.
nowadays they just use concrete but this is a lovely example of the antique use of the pumice.

Happy to be welcomed by a lady that lived there for that moment

salt
a few times a day the waves throw themselves on the higher rocks and leave
a tiny pool of seawater to dry in the Greek sun.
Highly concentrated water with salt is left and crystals develop

I was going to the monestary on Therasia
alone..and Quinn´s reaction was to
put a gicantic stone in my backpack.
I carried it all the way to the other island till I discovered the heavy thing.

we were not aware that the thing existed on the island...but it does...and apparently they get even larger maybe 40 centimeters? They bite you at night when they got lost in your bed.

Sea-hedgehog

the hedgehog got tumbled over and over again by the ocean-waves
the ocean took out the body and spat out the hedgehog´s jacket to dry in the summer-sun

(In Dutch a sea-urchin is called zee-egel, meaning sea-hedgehog)

to give customers information about the bookshop I made these signs
i hid them in corners to activate the seeking button




-
these are signs for the garden I made
since there were no nails I had to use the snails to hold on to
the signs
by the time the seeds show they are alfalfa, chilli and basil plants
the snails have left to green plants to eat ....ow that is wrong!..
