Last photos of Jamaica and some Greek photos, no miniatures!

 Still in the colonial world there was a fascinating ruin in Drax Hall Jamaica of a plantation water mill.

Interesting combination of stone and brick and the week before was entirely overgrown with trees! Would make a nice bit of scenery I thought?

Channeling my inner Keith I thought I'd put up some photos of my recent holiday in Greece. 

The Acropolis including the Parthenon and under the Acropolis museum ( which I thought was great) Is a section of excavated Athens destroyed by Sulla, I thought the detail of period wall was quite interesting and the arch of Hadrian, still in Athens. 

The castle at Naxos town 12th century Venetian, and from the sea.

The temple of Apollo.

The temple of Demeter and a1/50 model, both on Naxos. 

Akrotiri on ancient Thera, now Santorini, a 20th century BC settlement destroyed by volcanic action, looking at the reconstruction in the excellent prehistoric history museum in Fira in Santorini, I  was struck by how much they resembled middle eastern/ north African buildings and also thought about Matts idea of adding pantile roofs to give added flexibility, they'd also do for Afghanistan as well, just thinking of some sort of Venetian versus Ottoman type game as I have been thinking about a renaissance Ottoman army maybe? Anyway very interesting break, sorry if I haven't kept up to date on all your blogs but will do better now I'm back, haven't painted any figures for three weeks, better get back to it ! Hoping to get to Partizan next week if anyone else is going?!

All the best
