Two Sides of Athens

I took this shot a couple of months ago in down town Athens. The apparent difference between the two characters is striking, with the lady holding her drink while the beggar holds a sign saying "Please, I am hungry". I am not judgmental of either person, by the way, but it saddens me to see beggars on the street, because they are most probably exploited by someone. Don't enjoy, please.

Australia - Urban Landscapes

This is the second post with photos from my recent trip to Sydney. Enjoy!

Old versus new

This is graffiti on a restaurant. :)

Australia - Animals

I went to Sydney for a few weeks. This post, along with one more to come, shows some aspects of what I encountered. This post is about animals. I could write a lot about invertebrates (cockroaches and spiders in particular) but I am in a good mood so I will skip that. You won't find any koalas or kangaroos here, either.

Enjoy!

Abandoned and Derelict Athens

A few photos from down town Athens, where some buildings remind me of ghost towns... even though the city is very vibrant below them.

Enjoy!

Light at the end of the tunnel?
