KERKINI LAKE

Lake Kerkini (Greek: Λίμνη Κερκίνη), is an artificial reservoir that was created in 1932, and then redeveloped in 1980, on the site of what was previously an extremely extensive marshland.

Before 1932, there were irregular marsh lakes on Strymon, one of them called "Podkova" Ottoman Turkish: ݒودقوه كوليPodkova Gölü [1] became the mother of Kerkini.

Greek Nature - Sea shells

Beautiful beaches in Greece wash up  beautiful small treasures waiting to be discovered. Empty sea shells  with their different shapes, colors & forms  is the most popular theme in the art world, especially in jewels. Every time an artist is dealing with a popular subject his/her challenge is how the form will be treated, what techniques and materials will be used (Click here for more photos).

  Acorns
