So close, yet so far...

In the not-so-distant distance you see the Greek island of Lesvos. Ismet Inonu, the chief negotiator who gave it away to Greece without even bargaining, apparently later saw it for the first time and said "If I knew it were so close I wouldn't have given it away so easily". Thank you. I'm growing quite fond of the brown-and-green fall landscape, btw. Despite the darkish clouds it didn't rain (and indeed hasn't rained yet).
