Away from the busy seasidehubs, this part of northeastern Crete becomes a sparse Mediterranean landscape.

A lot of foraging can be done here, some basic knowledge would be great, harvesting your own oregano, mountain tea(Malotira),

Hi @nin0000 would like to know which area is that hill if you remember the name... btw these snails are not dead, is just that the summer is too hot for them and they always walk when its raining (dont know why). You should collect and make a nive meal😜

:)
Next time, i've eaten good snailfood, but in a tavern, it's all in the utmost eastern corner, north.
Thanks for reading!

Beautifully quiet, and well captured!

Thanks Ocrdu!

Beautiful place! Hope I visit it soon :)

nin0000 - It is a sparse landscape but the rocks have their own poetry of stillness going on. You have captured it well. I love the rocky outcrop in the first picture that seems to reach for the sky. Upvoted.

I have posted an outlook on burden of life with my original pictures. I request you to take a look when you have time. Your views, experiences and comments on the subject would be very welcome. Thanks
