Greece
February to June 2020. When you live somewhere long enough, you start filling memory card upon memory card with pictures, dump them on your hard drive, and then forget about them.
I love the colours on that tyre dealer’s shop
Επίδαυρος - the new village
Επίδαυρος - The old theatre. Spot the couple sitting in the ranks…
When I go into the centre, I usually take the metro from here. This was taken just before every second seat was taped off for social distancing.
Ομόνοια - I seem to like metro stations…
At the Athens Olympic stadium
The walkway at the Olympic stadium in the sunset, heavily edited to bring out more colours.
Sunrise at the wreck of the “Mediterranean Sky”
Greek Mojito - Tsipouro, Lemon Sherbet and thyme. Tasty!
What better way to test a new lens…
Thiseas, better known as Theseus in English
The Acropolis of Athens, seen from the highest point in the city, Mount Lykavittos.
The Panathenaic Stadium, or “Καλλιμάρμαρο” (beautiful marble) - the only stadium in the world constructed entirely of marble, and nearly 2500 years old.
Never gets old…
So many pictures here are taken from Lykavittos… Here’s one of Lykavittos!
Sneak into Kalimarmaro at night? Who, me?
Daveli’s Cave - despite rumours to the contrary, my phone and camera kept working and I didn’t have a party with Pan and his followers.
The inside of the small church by Daveli’s Cave. I couldn’t get in, but my camera fit through one of the broken windows.
Dionysos
Chania, Night
Sounio, shortly after sunset
Poseidon’s Temple at Sounio
Pollution makes for good sunsets
