A mule on the way to Omalos  - 20th April 2008

I wanted to get away from flowers for at least a day but the light since last week has been exceptionally poor, charged with dust from the Sahara so that's not too good for landscape photos.
So instead here is a mule photographed on the roadside to Omalos. Until recently it was the most common form of transport in rural Crete but mules and donkeys have quickly become an unsual sight.
