Who Are the Natives of Our Land? A picture may say 1000 words or more. From another era in Northern Greece: an armed “group” of Vlachs from Avdella, Grevena, on an outing together with Turkish soldiers who are guarding them from “klephts.” In Avdella, near the Manakia fountain. Photograph by the Manakia brothers, 1903. |
Του Τούρκου ο γιος με τα κιάλια.
Ρωμαίικα και βλάχικα μιλάει.Βιβλία μαζεύει. Τα πουλιά κοιτάει και τα ζωγραφίζει.
(a bit of fiction on my part...about the boy with the field glasses).

| Army field glasses, binoculars from the late 1800s. Did you know they were this good and no-one was birding with them? These binoculars where assumably military issued; I found various makes on the net, both German and French, these are French. |
