The old well in garden

IMG_0059

50 years ago it was very common to see a well in a garden in samian houses.
Now it is almost impossible to find such a place.I was lucky to find this one in the midle of Samos town and share this image with you.

  3. Morning

    I am surpised that you say it was difficult to find a well. I imagined in Greek towns and villages they would be a fairly common sight. Thank you for finding this one, it is a wonderful photograph.

    My brother in law has a well in his garden in East Sussex, but sadly not the lovely sunshine at the moment!!.

    Have a good weekend, Jackie

  5. I'm glad the town kept it — I think it's very charming. It's a good reminder of what life was like in the past and it also looks wonderful as an antique garden decoration.

  6. I dont know if the well still in function, the house looks ampty. In previus years a well was the only way to have fresh watter.Since the state takes care now, the people dont care anymore.
