The photo above shows a lovely, unnamed waterfall on the seaward slope of Mount Ossa, Greece (6,490 ft or 1,978 m), near the village of Melivoia. After a long hike on a summer's day, it was a pleasant surprise to encounter these refreshing falls -- approximately 15 ft (4.5 m) in height. It looked like something that might have been created for a story by J.R.R. Tolkien. The trees growing out of the limestone outcrops at the base of the falls appear to be sycamore-maples. Horsechestnut and beech trees are also found here. The small stream forming the falls flows east into the Aegean Sea. Photo taken on August 24, 2013.
