Objects Along the Way — Part 4: The Dry Stone Wall
Following the walls that shaped the landscape of Apokoronas
Objects Along the Way explores the ordinary features of the Cretan landscape that most of us pass without a second thought. Today's object is one of the most familiar—and perhaps the least appreciated—of them all: the dry stone wall.

Objects Along the Way Part 1 – The Roadside Shrine
Today's ride marked the beginning of a new series. Rather than following battles, myths or historical figures, Objects Along the Way turns its attention to the ordinary features of the Cretan landscape—the things that are seen every day yet rarely examined closely.
