A photo of the second lime kiln documented in the area of Delvinë (K02), in Karakol:detail from inside where two layers of masonry are discerned, the external with stone and mud and the internal (more recent) made with bricks. The mud has changed its color from place to place, a fact manifesting the different temperature during burning, while whitish parts are due to the limestone calcination.
