@peterromeThe birdhouse assumption is the wrong way in. Those small buildings dotting Greece's highways and its winding mountain routes are Ekonostasi, miniature church shrines, and the reason families raise them is heavier than the look suggests. Most are put there to remember people killed in road crashes on that very ground. Quaint on the outside, a memorial underneath.

The focus is a small, weathered white church structure nestled in overgrown greenery. The church has a dome topped with a cross and arched windows. A yellow sign with Greek lettering is prominently displayed on its base. The mood is rustic and slightly melancholic, with a focus on the aged architecture and natural overgrowth. The detail of the red brick peeking through the white paint on the church is visually notable. ON-SCREEN TEXT: ΠΡΟΦΗΤΗΣ ΗΛΙΑΣ ΠΡΩ. ΚΑΤΩΧΙ 6001748
