One of the little plants I found near the beach in Cyprus, heliotropium indicum. So called because the flowers were believed to turn towards the sun (i.e. heliotropium), why indicum (i.e. Indian) I don’t know.

A Greek Cypriot
His statue stands facing the Apostle Andreas Orthodox Church in Polis Chrysochous. I think he is considered a hero in the struggle between the Turkish and Greek parts of Cyprus but I couldn’t read the plaque.

I’m a Fan of Turtle Nests
At first some people may find the metal contraptions on the edge of the beach a bit puzzling.
Ahh, that’s it then.

Closed Shutters against the Midday Heat
The irony was that during the week we were in Cyprus it was just as hot back home in Germany – without the sea!

Sideways Queue
I’m not really back from holidays. I don’t want to be back. But I peaked in today’s Ragtag Daily Prompt and I couldn’t resist sharing this photo. It’s a queue. A queue of flamingoes. They did come closer to our resort’s beach and I will show photos of them at a later stage. But how could I resist this prompt?
BTW: The fly by (actually quite a few fly byes during half an hour) was spectacular.
