9 Directions Exhibition

2 days ago I visited 9 Directions, an international graffiti - street art exhibition that took place in Thessaloniki.


The exhibition featured the work of a number of young Greek artists such as Wake,


Rasel,


Sive,


Nastwo,


Zad Iloe


Best Before and others.


The exhibition also featured some foreign artists like Casroc from Belgium


and Mr. Wany from Italy.


End of transmission.

(a bitter) hope

after posts like this and this


I was thinking yesterday


that maybe there is still a hope


even in Greece

Animal Farm

A few days ago I visited the Attica Zoological Park.


It is located in the area of Spata, about half an hour drive from Athens city center.


The visitor of the park can have a close encounter with all sorts of living species.


This is a ring-tailed coati. You got to trust me about the ring tail, it was there!


And here is an emo-haired monkey!


This is a rare white lion. Only 30 around the globe, according to Wikipedia.


And a lovely cheetah-looking kitty with an itchy jaw.


A bunch of wildlife under wild midday light.


What does a giraffe and me have in common? We both love beetroots!


A herd of zebras


a lonely alligator


and a sleepy monkey.


I must admit that watching caged animals is definitely not my idea of fun


especially when they occasionally make faces like the one above.


On the other hand, you get a close look at some species that you wouldn't normally want to be around you


unless you're one of those perverts that get such things as pets!


But my main concern is... How come he has a girlfriend and I don't?

Stuck at the gas station

Yesterday I was stuck at the gas station for 2.5 hours. Waiting for one guy.

Waiting is very boring.



I had three cups of tea at the shop.


Went to toilet twice.


Got the car washed.


Bought a magazine.


Went again to the shop and got some peanuts and free catalogue of gifts for Shell bonus points card holders!


Got the tank filled up.


Was sitting in the car with engine on to keep warm.


Until it became dark.

Earth, water and sky

I wanted to freeze this stream of water.


I wanted to take it home, watch it on my computer screen


and see how it looks like, motionless.


Then I had to move on.

September lights

September has been a month full of photo shooting. But my time for posting has been very limited. Here is a collection of some interesting images of September.


September has been a month full of interesting skies


and lighting conditions.


The mild weather inspired long walks and bike rides across the seafront


and around the old parts of the city center.


I enjoyed some moments of urban peace in my home town


and some urban chaos in the big Greek apple of Athens.
