A lecture at Medelhavsmuseet, Stockholm.
Tempting to call the Vikos Gorge "our backyard"!
On a Vikos Gorge goatherd:
They call him 'Lord of the Gorge'.
Alone with his goats
On vertical slopes.
"In Northern Europe, the young put their elderly parents in care homes; some can't wait to inherit whatever is left.
In Greece, the young take great care of their elderly parents because the whole family depends on the parents' continuing pension payments".
