Fauna
Is there a reason why the lovely Fire Trees and others have been razed to the ground between Esba Bridge and the Check Point leaving the place stark abd barren?

Re: Fauna
Then you need a new computer Newc. Apart from the the "b" being added by mistake on the word and it is quite plain to see the question. It may be however you do not know the answer because you have either not seen or taken any notice. But the trees in between the Esba Bridge and the Checkpoint at Gezera especially along the canal bank have mostly been razed to the ground leaving the peverbial unsightly rubbish filled canal on full view to all. The more greenery the better air quality. Oh silly me touching on green policies, when they are unheard of in Egypt....

Re: Fauna
Of course they do Newcastle you must know by now that Cyprus is perfect. Busy little trees they have there. The fauna stays where it us and the flora runs up to it just asking to be eaten.

Re: Fauna
@Major Thom
I have never heard of a Fire Tree. Is it a reference to a Fir Tree or a Flame Tree perhaps?
I also do not understand the word 'peverbial' and cannot find it in my dictionary. What does it mean?

Re: Fauna
Maybe the scrutinisation of other posts woould not go amiss, but its obvious that many walk around with their eys closed, not knowing what is going on around them.

Re: Fauna
The canal is cleaned usually from a 'garrar/karaaka on a floating pontoon that pulls itself down

Mind you last week they were doing a pretty crap job of cleaning the canalside from the road, a first...

Re: Fauna
The trouble is Bennu all the rubbish and rotted carcass's are left along the banks, to further decay and spread disease.

Re: Fauna
Although a less than pleasant situation, at least it's not your doorstep so perhaps you shouldn't worry too much about it. I'm sure there are environmental problems in Cyprus that you could beat your drum about and help prevent/solve if you had a mind to.Major Thom wrote: ↑Fri Apr 26, 2019 2:15 pm The trouble is Bennu all the rubbish and rotted carcass's are left along the banks, to further decay and spread disease.

Re: Fauna
Major Thom knows more than I do. Having been away for some weeks, I am not yet familiar with the result of the new cleaning project.
Where I used to see palm tree tops, I now have a view of a village busy with pedestrians, donkeys and camels, Upper Egyptian everyday life. Rather inspiring when dancing to live music, yearning, longing, celebrating, feeling - interpreting the classics. Last week holding court in Sweden during a belly dance festival, I explained to fellow participants that the key to the much debated authenticity is understanding the audience for which the music was composed. After they cut the trees, my singer had noticed that I kept looking out of the window whether dancing balady, Oriental or folklore; he understood it when I told him that I have the background of the lyrics on my doorstep. I am lucky.
In Copenhagen I stroll under cherry blossoms, the flora of my neighbourhood has become a tourist attraction. As usual, I have front row tickets to concerts with some of the masters who will visit our jazz capital in July - until then I shall be surrounded by mango trees, date palms on the opposite side of the canal, endless bougainvillea, Ramadan lights, oud, ney and tabla ...
For now, I truly enjoy what is not available in Luxor: gourmet beer and male attention.

Re: Fauna
Yes we do have enviromental issues in Cyprus, but at least the Government do something. Roadkill s cleaned up, beaches are attended to, tax on vehicles depends on emmissions, local people keep the streets and roads clean along side the Government, tipping sites are available (With Skips) to get rid of your rubbish, even once a week an advertised wagon comes around our village to collect unwanted waste etc, our bin is emptied every 3rd day. So things not too bad. Flowers and flowering bushes are planted outside peoples homes, people really keep the places clean. The only places with writing on the walls are those advertising the name or number of the property. Every thing looks clean and tidy. My only issues has with most is the way tourists disgard rubbish for others to clean up, but then again its not their home or island, so what can you expect. We pay for services via our tax lke the UK so if things go wrong we can and have the right to complain. This Winter has been the wettest on record so in many places the water off the mountains has run down and washed parts of the roads away. Because we have a proper tax scheme, the councils get straight on to them and they get repaired. (The money is available).
