Every morning at low tide the boats are sitting onto the bottom of the sea and then gradually by the evening the water fills the bays and canals again.

Climbing on the top of this hill raising high above the sea near Combe Martin I felt a very special (and spacious) powerful feeling of vastness.

The controversial sculpture standing on the pier in Ilfracombe is called Verity and was created by Demian Hirst. The name of the piece refers to “truth” and Hirst describes his work as a “modern allegory of truth and justice”

The island of Thassos, Greece

posted in: Blog | 0

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.
