When walking along the Finikoudes in Larnaca, I came across a charming shop filled with shells & dried out ocean life. Tucked away in the back of the shop was the owner; an older Cypriot gentleman who was exceptionally proud of vases he crafted- orange clay covered in patterns made by variations of tiny shells. I bought one after chatting with him for an hour, in part because I was compelled to support this man who was so enthusiastic about the intricate beauty of the ocean that he created a humble, quiet life of it at the end of the road.
This little puffer fish was one of the gems found in the rows of colorful baskets.
