ΑΣΤΡΑΦΤΕΙ ΚΑΙ ΒΡΟΝΤΑ ΤΙΣ ΤΕΛΕΥΤΕΕΣ ΗΜΕΡΕΣ
Παρά τις μεγάλες καταστροφές που προκλήθηκαν τις τελευταίες ημέρες από την κακοκαιρία, οι βροχές που πέφτουν τα τελευταία 24ώρα είναι χρυσάφι για το νησί μας.
Οι φωτογραφίες τραβήχτηκαν από την Νατάσα Χρίστου.
Μπραβο Νατάσα.
ΕΙΣΒΟΛΗ ΣΤΟΥΣ ΚΥΠΡΙΑΚΟΥΣ ΑΙΘΕΡΕΣ ΑΠΟ FLAMIGOS
Χθες αντιλήφθηκα ότι τα συμπαθέστατα και πανέμορφα πτηνά επέστρεψαν στην χώρα μας για να ξεχειμωνιάσουν.

ΛΑΡΝΑΚΑ ΤΗΝ ΝΥΧΤΑ
Χθες το βράδυ είδα αυτό το τοπίο στην αλυκή της Λάρνακας και είπα να δοκιμάσω μήπως πετύχω κάτι καλό.
Ιδού το αποτέλεσμα..

ΤΕΚΚΕΣ ΝΩΡΙΣ ΤΟ ΠΡΩΙ...(ΦΩΤΟΓΡΑΦΗΜΑ)
Νωρίς το πρωί σήμερα στη Λάρνακα επικρατούσε ηρεμία και η ατμόσφαιρα ήταν καθαρή.
Έτσι πήρα το αποτέλεσμα που βλέπετε.

Larnaca, (Greek: Λάρνακα) is a city of the Republic of Cyprus situated on the east coast of Cyprus. The major international airport, Larnaca International Airport is located in this city. In ancient times, Larnaca was known as Kition, or (in Latin) Citium. The biblical name Kittim, though derived from Citium, was in fact used quite generally for Cyprus as a whole, and occasionally by the Jews for the Greeks and Romans. Larnaca is colloquially known as "Skala" (Greek: Σκάλα).
It has a population of 72,000 (2001) and is the island's second commercial port and an important tourist resort. To the north of the town lies the island's oil refinery, while to the south of Larnaca the International Airport is situated. The city of Larnaka is well-known for its picturesque sea-front which includes rows of palm trees (oi finikoudes, in the Cypriot dialect). Much of the activity is centred around the city promenade during the major festivals. The most important of these for the city of Larnaka is Kataklysmos or the Festival of the Flood, celebrated in early summer with a series of cultural events.
A famous Athenian general, Kimon, died at sea defending the city of Citium in a major battle with the Persians of Xerxes. On his deathbed, he urged his officers to conceal his death from both allied and Persians. The quote "Και Νεκρός Ενίκα" ("Even in death he was victorious") refers to Kimon. A statue of "Kimon the Athenian" stands proudly on the sea front promenade of modern Larnaca.
Like other cities of Cyprus, it has suffered repeatedly from earthquakes, and in medieval times when its harbour silted up (a sign that the island was deforested and overgrazed) the population moved to Larnaca, on the open seafront farther south. The harbour and citadel have now disappeared. Traces remain of the circuit wall, and of a sanctuary with copious terra-cotta offerings; the large cemetery has yielded constant loot to illicit excavation for more than a century.
