Landscape in the centre of Samos / Samos, Greece, 2008

View to the southeast towards Chora from a pass above the monastery Moni Vronta (above the village of Vourliotes).
Samos island, Greece, October 2008

The area with the green hills in a distance was probably hit by the fire raging yesterday on Samos island between the hills above Kokkari on the north coast, the village of Mytilini, and the slopes of the Ambelos mountains.

I add some links that deliver visual information on the fire and the firefighting on Samos (two fires within one week!):
