All seems so serene and calm in most of the accompanying photos of winter circa 1910-1920 in Greece of a century and more ago. What fun to go on a sleigh ride or cross-country skiing through the snow-drifted fields. Fast forward to the 21st century and quick as a wink, the fields orchards, and farmsteads are gone. No more rolled snow on the roads for the sleighs and bobsleds. All are replaced, slowly at first, then with increasing rapidity by urban development and mile after mile of tract that we now call home ! …. “Time lends enchantment to all”.
