Aegina - believe it or not

 

RECOVERY

In June, a group of workers caused a fire at a construction site, when a spark lighted the dry grass. The fire quickly spread over southeast Attica and destroyed large parts of the forest and several houses. Luckily, there were no civilian casualties.

The pictures below are taken in Bertseko, an archaeological important valley in the centre of the Laurion area (Attica, Greece). They give an image of the devastating power of the fires but also of how fast nature/life is able to recover from such an event. Let this be a metaphor: when you are in dire straits, realize that whether you want it or not, life inevitably goes on … in a new and who knows even better form than before.
