House at Plikati Photo

Photographer’s Note

A historical village, with an icon of Theotokos found in the woods in 17th century, on mt. Grammos, on the Albanian border, on an altimeter of 1240m, Plikati is one of Konitsa's stone-masons's villages. It has some 50 permanent inhabitants but quite a lot stone-work.
It was September, but its families had made their provisions in fire-wood, because winter comes early high up on mt. Grammos.

Hi, Theo,
Glad to see your new post here.
Nice stony walls, typically southern.

Γεια σου Θεολόγε.
Παρ' όλο το καμμένο του ουρανού νομίζω ότι αυτό που ήθελες να δείξεις φένεται πολύ καλά. Η τεχνική αυτή χτισίματος έχει μεταφερθεί από τους ηπειρώτες τεχνίτες και στα παλιά σπίτια της Ευρυτανίας, με κύριο χαρακτηριστικό τις ξύλινες δεσιές που δίνουν πολύ καλές αντισεισμικές ιδιότητες. Ευχαριστούμε για την παρουσίαση.
Χαιρετώ
Χρήστος
