The transformative #power of #nature.

This used to an open-cast mine and local eye-sore.
Today it's a peaceful nature reserve and recreational beauty spot with wild birds and even a heron.

Set on the #Greek island of #Kefalonia, discover the #story which enchanted the #ancient world and still echoes into modern times.

The #Odysseus #Greek #myth mentions Phorkys bay, thought a reference to Monk #seals (phokia). They inhabit caves and beaches in Northern #Kefalonia and #Ithaka, now considered key areas for their survival in the Mediterraean.

Personal photographs capturing grey seals at Flamborough, Yorkshire, UK. The terrain of limestone cliffs and caves is not dissimilar from northern Kefalonia.

You know it's time to return to #Greece, when the olive oil supplies are running low!
