This is a typical Arcadian view. High mountains and tiny plains make up approximately 90% of the land in Arcadia, in central Peloponnese.
The colour squares arranged in a line are beehive boxes. Beekeeping is very popular in Arcadia because of the fir blossom pollen which gives a uniquely aromatic honey.

Like the beehive touch of this impressive landscape. Not exactly the Arcadia of tales and painting, but a beautiful land, probably a bit greener after the summer.
That Arcadia (the one with the forests) was behind us. I'll see if I can find any pictures to post. In truth, the mountains in this photo probably belong to Argolis, they have that rugged look to them.
I checked it on a map and now understand what you mean, and now I remember that post.
We're coming to London in the second half of October, better late than never!
Beautiful shot ! The forests are amazing and i would like to visit them once.
@ Vogon Poet: Hey, that's great news - autumn will be in full swing by then and the parks full of beautiful colour. Interestingly enough, we're hoping to be in Italy at the end of October :-)
@ Wisdom Words: Look out for my next post!
