The Ravages of War
by Helen Betts

Lefkosa (Nicosia), Northern (Turkish) Cyprus

This abandoned house is located almost right on the Green Line, which divides northern (Turkish) and southern (Greek) Cyprus. It still bears evidence of the 1974 hostilities on its walls, but it appears that the adjoining building is occupied, if the dish and flowers are any indication. For more of this devastated area, see http://www.pbase.com/helenpb/image/43832093 and http://www.pbase.com/helenpb/image/43832592 . This is the actual Green Line, with flags plainly visible: http://www.pbase.com/helenpb/image/43833515

Oh, you're right, k t, didn't notice that! But yes, I do agree someone is living in the end building, especially with those flowers. Helen

Helen, it does look like a dish of some sort but it's not pointing to the sky. Somebody must still live there, there's flowers outside. Fascinating place and history.
