Thank you, Rainbow!
The island of Thassos is the furthermost northern island of Greece. It is no coincidence that Greeks call it The Green Pearl as most of it is covered by old and natural pine forests. The mountains of the island rise to more than 1200m above the crystal clear waters of the Aegean Sea. This natural beauty has changed hands many times through history and has accumulated a rich historical and cultural heritage.

This rock lagoon is a natural formation and is called Giola by the locals.

In the summer of 2010 I visited a number of alternative building projects in Wales. Built out of simple natural materials and covered with green roofs, these houses blend into the lush landscape. The beauty and tranquility of the Welsh countryside, along with the hobbit-like buildings, created an enchanting atmosphere and made me believe that is possible to live in a fairy tale, even in our modern world.
The bay of New Quay.
One of the many amazing buildings made out of natural materials at the Cae Mabon Eco Retreat Centre in the North of Wales.

This is the village of Dolen, which means “lower”. It is situated in the western part of the Rhodope region and is an architectural reserve.

The green plants in the wheelbarrow are tobacco leaves, which are still a traditional means of livelihood in the Rhodope mountains.
