We didn't see those, but yesterday as a storm came up the coast from the south, directly in front of us a water spout formed twice in the course of about 15 minutes.
The first one was the best, but we didn't notice it until some friends phoned us, so we were too slow with the camera. When the second one formed we did managed to get some shots, but as you can see they are a little faint.
Our friends did however get a photo of the first one, and that's the final picture here.

Watching the news on Greek TV channels has been a re-run of the news two years ago, basically chaos in the way that the authorities have been prepared for, and dealt with the fires.
Although many are saying that the lack of money was a factor in the lack of preparation for an event like this, I'm inclined to think back to my post at the end of August two years ago and the phrase "attention deficit". ]]>http://www.kalamatablogs.gr/Living4TheSun/2009/03/15/A_new_web_siteLeakySheepLiving4TheSun: A new web site2009-03-15T12:51:00-04:002009-03-15T12:51:00-04:00 Also, I've been involved locally to help produce a new web site for some holiday apartments. The content was simple enough, but the challenge was to produce a layout that pleased everyone and was reasonably good HTML and CSS code. As anyone who has produced web pages knows, the basic code is not too difficult, it's trying to get everything to work with all the different browsers that people will use. You get it working and looking how you want with Firefox, have a look with IE7 and discover that several thing don't work. Fixing those takes a while to ensure that the HTML and CSS is still good. Now you have a look with IE6 and wonder if you are still looking at the same page. Back into the cycle again, fixing the IE6 may break the Firefox or IE7, which in turn.....
Ah well, it's just about finished now, so if anyone wants to have a look and give me any comments, please do so here. The URL for the site is [www.lighthouse-apartments.gr] . Please be gentle, the thought of fighting with all those different IE versions is not a pleasant thought. ]]>
