stony ground

near Alika, Mani, Peloponnisos

the isolated villages of southern Greece stand strong in a rugged environment...from the stony ground locals built many terraces for farming...these ones, north-east of Alika, apparently no longer in use

Great shot of this rugged landscape with all these details. By the patterns left on the mountain one can tell that people have been there a long time. "V"

Dramatic landscape and I like the shadows cast by the cloud on the mountainside. V

Yes, very stony; and I like very much the composition with the solitary tree in the foreground. V.
