Shards of earth - A. Tchaikovsky

Knossos palace is, essentially, a pile of rocks that was bullied into a specific shape.
Humans have a habit of trying to out-rock earth. Which is a little like trying to out-wet the ocean. Usually earth wins by just being a lot bigger and staying a lot longer. Knossos does a good job of trying.

Spending a week alone travelling through Crete (who needs Christmas!)
Heraklion is alright, but happy to be moving on today. Best moment so far was a road trip to Matala with a spontaneous little mountain hike to a secluded beach!
