As you may know from the News, this weekend my country experienced a tragedy...right now , there are almost 100 fires all over Greece....during the weekend 60 people lost their lives because of the fires, hundreds of houses are burned to ashes....the sky has lost its blue colour, the air is filled with smoke...its an endless tragedy....blues

The ancient site of Olympia in Peleponese surrendered to the fires...its realy a sad day today...for all Greeks wherever they live.....for all Greece, the cradle of culture, knowledge and arts....blues

Just wanted to share this with all of you, in memory of all those people who lost their lives in my beautiful country, and express my sadness and grief... you can post a reply if you care enough...blues

Thank you for reading this

It is a great shame and I hope the damage does not get any worse, If Zeus was here today the arsonists would be in Hades.

Our thoughs and our prayers are with all of you in this time of tragedy. I just caught some of this on the news. It was on the marque of news on the bottoms of the screen and I didn't realize what I was reading until it went by. Take care of yourself. Bless those who were unable to. angel
