Old Corfu, Mouragia; Corfu Carnival


A photo from Facebook:


I once dreamed of living in an apartment
in one of those tall buildings, 
above the Mouragia (Old Walls).
The constant stream of cars,
 the fumes and noise from the congested traffic,
 put paid to that dream long ago!

The view is still inspiring.

Painters from Edward Lear to Garth Handley, and poets like Solomos were all able to enjoy it.
