faience spoon, Hellenistic period (3rd-1st c. BC), Afentrika (Ammochostos District)

2.4.22 Afentrika, Ourania.

A great goddess was probably worshiped here, the mistress of the area, the fertile fields reach the sea, just nature, no development, only a dirt road reaches here, it continues full of stones and holes through the wilderness of Trashia, up to Apostolos Andreas. I drew in the afternoon, the sun set into the sea and its light shone through the opening of a Byzantine ruin. I returned at dawn and enjoyed the colours and the quietness of the morning. Two photographers who were studying the area were also there and would return at 2 a.m. to photograph the Milky Way. It is only visible from such places nowadays. They were talking about light pollution created by the cities and how serious a phenomenon it has become in our country and all over the world.
