This donkey stands beautifully in front of an apple blossom tree enjoying the sunshine.
While many people think of the island of Crete as a place with sun, sea and beaches, it is an island full of natural beauty. This picture was taken on the Lassithi Plateau, where people still live in the traditional way. Small villages where people live mostly from agriculture and sheep farming, where people mainly live outside and where the solidarity is still great.
In this picture you see a donkey, which is often still used for work in this region, standing in the sun. Some donkeys work in the tourist industry, but once in a while you see very elderly women riding their donkeys on the paths, usually on their way to their husbands who are shepherds. In the coastal villages and tourist resorts you don't see this anymore, but in the area of the Lassithi Plateau and Kritsa, near Agios Nikolaos, this is still a familiar sight.
