Figure/Ground > Greece > et cetera...
This is a shot of the mountain roads in Greece. Unfortunately this does
not even begin to suggest
how twisty some of the roads are. On the real twisty roads, there were simply no
safe place to pull over to take a photo. It was one s-curve immediately after
another s-curve up a steep grade. I would spend what seemed like hours in second
gear, climbing up the side of the mountain. I've never missed power-steering
more (no such "luxury" in our tiny car). It was a nightmare to drive at night.
The roads were narrow, and there were no barriers. The side of the road is
literally the edge of the mountain. Not only were there no lights, there were no
reflectors either. One wrong move and you are flying off the mountain Thelma
Louise style. I wonder how many people die on these mountain roads per
year?
