Banyan

Waikiki Banyan Tree
The Banyan Tree is really quite wierd with its aerial prop roots. They are found all over the tropics.
This one was at Waikiki Beach, Hawaii. There is a huge one covering ⅔ of an acre at Lahaina, Maui but
although we visited there the only photograph I took of it doesn't really show the scale of it.

Agia Paraskevi Church Geroskipou

Agia Paraskevi Church Geroskipou
Agia Paraskevi (St Paraskevi) Church is in Geroskipou in Cyprus not far from where I stayed on holiday a
couple of years ago. The 11th century five-domed (forming a cross) Byzantine church is well known on the
island. The square around it has been sensitively modernised to show it off in a large open space.
