Vrisi ton Peyiotisson Springs, Pegeia

Vrisi ton Peyiotisson Springs is a very important landmark in Pegeia for both residents and visitors alike. 

In the bustle that is Pegeia today, the springs sit in a peaceful corner of the grounds of Pegeia Town Hall. 

As such, it has become the backdrop for lots of couples who get married in the Town Hall's gardens.

Vrisi ton Peyiotisson Springs was constructed in 1907 by the builder Achilleas Konstantinou, presumably to replace an older fountain.

In those days, the village fountain was hugely important.  As recently as 1956 it provided the community with its main source of drinking water.

The fountain was a source of life for Pegeia because the village had been suffering from a drought.  Pegeia formed and grew around the enlivening springs.

When You See Something, Stop!

I'd been in Coral Bay and Tala doing some commercial work.  That was wrapped up, and I was on my way home.

It was one of those days you get in Cyprus in the Autumn with perfect light.  Sure it was approaching midday, but the low Autumn sun raking across the countryside made everything look great and brought a smile to your face.

I'm still getting to grips with my new Nikon D700, and this was it's first outing at night. 

I'm working on a project at the moment illustrating lots of villas around Coral Bay, Pegeia and Agios Georgios and I wanted some contextual pictures to support that.
