As a matter of fact, yes I did. Ken is in Greece right now, I think. He generally spends a couple of weeks in June there. We're looking forward to seeing him in Berlin.

Thanks for the claryfications jazz4111.

The "fence" of the garden is actually a wall of stones.
And when you stand in front of it the garden and the trees
are somewhat above your head.

The one and only Roger Green describes the garden
in details in his book "Hydra and the Bananas of Leonard Cohen"
where he is also discussing in details Suzanne Elrod.

(Glad to hear she is back at the house. The last time I was there
things were different)

Dem wrote:(...) Ok.
That was a gory post in a thread that started with a photo of Leonard in
shorts :?

Dem
At least we can see that he has not tatoo to make hoax or whatever out of it.

But, you know :

Three pieces of tattooed skin and a shrunken head were exhibited in the courtroom at Dachau as evidence of the ghastly crimes committed by the staff at Buchenwald. The photograph above shows Dr. Kurte Sitte, on the far right, who is identifying the three pieces of tattooed skin, found in the pathology department at Buchenwald.

According to the forensic report prepared for the trial, the three pieces of skin were determined to be human. Joseph Halow, a court reporter for some of the other Dachau trials, claims that he saw a lamp shade that was part of the evidence at the proceedings against Ilse Koch, but if this lamp shade was tested, the results were not included in the forensic report


A shrunken head? No lamp shade, phew, thanks God one horror that does not exist but that does not put a shade on all the others either.

Great job Dem - yes you will have a good mark. Thanks for the info.

Now, ladies and gentlemen, lets go back to this dream land Island talk, please.

ets go back to this dream land Island talk, please.
Hydra you mean?

I will try to upload the movie "Boy on a Dolphin" with Sophia Loren
at some time so you can see how Hydra looked back in the 50's and 60's
when Leonard was there.

In the meantime:

Thanks (again) Dem! I saw them on Jarkko's site a (relativey) long time ago, but it was a pleasure to look at them again. Then, it reminded me about the astonishingly beautiful picture of spring in Greece that you did bring here (in 2005 I think).

For the movie, I'll try to have it at "La boîte noire" (it is packed up to the ceiling with "old stuff" on video (dvd or - yes - the other ancient thing with tracks, that you can rent). I'll be away from here for a while, dear, I did come back mainly to see if you remembered to HB AMcG (that seems to don't give a damn about me or anybody doing it 8) - well, thats fine) See you sweety! Have fun mon chou :D kiss/cheek, k/c, k/c Arrivederci!

Yep! A video club, here : http://www.boitenoire.com/web/flashindex.html

(But their search engine could drive you crazy, take care.)

Well, upload the movie anyway, I would say, 'cause it could be interesting for other than me.

Yeaaah.... thats it. VHS tapes, yes, spelling : d-i-n-a-u-s-o-r-s, definition : everybody loves them.

OK, now I'm out of here for real. :D

Efkaristo Dem, for the photos :wink: . I will not touch this knocker, I am not a fan of Suzanne Elrod, and anyway I can assure you that we will not bother anybody. All these photos, poetry and quotes... this is strange, how if already I have been there.

Is the VHS an old format? What will I do with my collection of films of Tintin and Woody Allen?

Parakalo Antoni.

Today you can find players that play both
tapes and DVDs but the VHS is a format that
soon will be out of the market.

You can always convert the tapes to DVDs.

Yasou Antoni-
Your sentiments regarding certain Hydra inhabitants are ones I completely sympathize with - if there were a scorpion hiding under the door knocker - I'd send you a friendly warning about that too! Enjoy your visit and let us know how it went. Kalo taxidi!

Ah! Ok, so I remember coming across the pic of Leonard in shorts before this post, and couldn't remember exactly where. It turns out, it's in our very own Leonard Cohen Files! The whole story is there.
