Ayios Ilias, dwarf mountain
Greece, Konitsa, Ayios Ilias, april 27, 2005.
Konitsa town lies humble at the feet of Tymfi and Trapezitsa, seen from Ayios Ilias.
A Greek tradition: they build a church on top of a mountain and dedicate it to Ayos Ilias (saint Elia). But I haven't seen such a large cross to accompany it.
The border with Albania crosses the mountain in the background.
Citroen at 1045m, centre rear Astraka (2436m), one of the tops of Tymfi.
Aoos river, here at 400m, seen from Ayios Ilias (1045m). The difference in height is 645m. That's twice the height of Vaalserberg, the highest Dutch hill. And Ayios Ilias is only a dwarf compared to Smolikas and Tymfi.
