A great shot, inphoto. Looks like a great location too. I am wondering about those houses though, as they seem to be very close to the edge.

Thank you! It's the back side of the old town of Kavala. The houses have foundations into the hard granite rock. Not many severe earthquakes in the region, too. But free space is inexistent.

I saw these types of globes at the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam. They're pretty awesome. What does that thingy at the bottom do? Is it a compass of sorts maybe?

Yes, I think it is a compass

These old farm chimneys and boiler houses are very rare now; but this one near my home is well preserved.

A perfect chimney for white storks to build their nest on!
