The fun park (another non-place)


Visiting such places as you grow older


it makes you wonder


"Am I perhaps being too analytical sometimes?"

Buy - buy love

A day at the mall.


Characterized by critics as the temple of commercialism.


"Sales" in every language. Message sent.


Buy buy love, buy buy happiness.


Supermarket. The heart of the mall.


All goods within reach.


I rephrased the chorus of the following song, for the title of this post.

My Desktop. Kind of Stupid.

I think it's kind of stupid, taking lots of interesting pictures while on streets, and not being able to transfer to computer and publish them, just because you want to sleep. And after all, sitting right now at my workplace in office (at 23:34!), the only interesting environment I can arrange around myself is browsing web or a new desktop wallpaper.



Yes, this is how my virtual workplace looks like. This is Kyiv. Picture is taken by very interesting guy, who takes photos of the city from different roofs. Here's his blog: http://ked-pled.livejournal.com.

And this is where I took the picture from. I think I have to change something in my life.

Summer storm in Thessaloniki

A few minutes before the storm, the sky started getting heavier.


In a matter of seconds, strong winds blew and heavy raindrops started to fall.


This is an old warehouse of the Thessaloniki dock, now used as an exhibition venue.


Some restored buildings of the Ladadika district, in the old Jewish quarter of the city.


The building of the National Bank of Greece, in kind of ancient Greek style.


This building is one of my favourites, because it is so ugly that it almost turns to nice.


And finally a slight taste of more modern architecture.


When the storm started to stop, it was a good time to get back home to some dry clothes!

Mountain bike ride

In my previous post "How to fight depression" I had promised to do this bike ride again. Well, there you go.



There was a fresh breeze after 7pm that made my life easier.



I followed this path uphills, for about an hour.



At some point I came across this plant. Anyone knows how it's called?



Sun was setting peacefully and the temperature was becoming even more pleasant.



What would Austin Powers say in this case?
"Oh, beehive!"
