Headquarters
Made by dkilim
We were lucky to stumble upon the exact position where the headquarters of the Democratic Army of Greece during the Greek Civil War were. Unfortunately, after the war ended this location was dug and most signs of its former use vanished. This is one of the few remaining holes in the ground which served as gunnery positions at that time.


The view from Pano Arrena
Made by dkilim
The big peak to the left is Kato Arrena and underneath it is the area called Kampitsios. In the background you can see mounts Vasilitsa, Avgo, Smolikas and Timfi. In the beautiful forest under our feet used to be the headquarters of the Democratic Army during the Greek Civil War. We stumbled on the location later on.

90 degrees panoramic shot from the top of Perifano peak. On the left you can see the highest peak of Gramos named 2520 and on the right is Kiafa peak. In the background you can see plains just across the border with Albania. View large is a must!


Burnt umber...

May 2010. Image shows the result of a large forest fire in Grammos Mt. in summer 2007. This forest fire was active for 22 days! It was a rare incident since in Grammos Mt. storms are causal phenomenon in summer months.

They strictly told us from the TV not to go to the beach these days. I obeyed. :) Yours truly on the top of Perifano peak (2,444m), my highest to date.

Ever seen something so beautiful that you want to cry?
Made by dkilim
I have. Oh, by the way, that's not snow on the trees. It's frost created overnight.
