Picture 07 of 07

Ledra Street, Nicosia (Lefkosia) – Cyprus.

Nicosia the capital of Cyprus, is now Europe's only militarily divided city. The city has been divided into Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot zones since the Turkish invasion in 1974. The ceasefire line from 1974 today separates the two communities on the island, and is commonly referred to as the Green Line. Ledra Street (closed since 1963), patrolled by UN peacekeepers is currently considered no-man's-land. Greek and Turkish Cypriot authorities reopened Ledra Street on April 3, 2008, raising hopes for a renewed drive to reunify the island.

Αυτή η φωτογραφία είναι αφιερωμένη στη μνήμη του Μάριου Τόκα, του Κύπριου μουσικοσυνθέτη που πέθανε σήμερα το πρωί, Κυριακή του Πάσχα.

This image is dedicated to the memory of Marios Tokas. The Cypriot composer who died this morning (Greek Orthodox Easter Sunday).

Ευχαριστώ για τα καλά σου λόγια! Η επίσκεψη στη Λύδρα ήταν από τις πιο συγκινητικές στιγμές στη Κύπρο, η γυναίκα μου είχε δακρύσει… Ελπίζω να βρεθεί μια βιώσιμη λύση…

Τραγικά καταπληκτική!
Our civilization needs centuries to become civilized, let's hope we can cut some years off.
