Photo blog

OK, be nice with me, I'm no photographer... plus these photos were taken while I was driving, so i couldn't zoom (can't zoom anyway, iphone won't let me!!) or center it right!

This is the traffic just out of the center, about 500 meters from the main street (Tsimiski)... It took me about 20 minutes to do that distance


This is a bee that sat on my mirror... Nothing to do with the riots, but I thought it was cute



The rioters took over the offices of the Lawyers' Union... It is common in Thessaloniki, and Athens, to do so...

Entering Tsimiski street, there was no significant damage, and I thought "what the hell were they talking about? Things are OK!"... Then I drove a bit further and I saw it! Most stores were broken or burnt - I'll show you some - and the ones that were not, were closed, on a Tuesday morning, two weeks before X-mas

This is the first Zara store I drove across

This is the second one


Marks & Spencer's didn't bother opening up today


Neither did this Alpha Bank branch


Tous bags... gone... *tears*



I took this photo yesterday, while walking to work... That is a Benetton store with its window broken...

That black hole in the middle there, that is the same Benetton store... sorry, WAS the same Benetton store!


These are a few photos I snapped... Mind you, I didn't walk through Egnatia, where the fightings were held, but Tsimiski, which is a couple of streets to the south... At this moment, more fighting is held at the same places... I hope people start to think really soon... Think people... Think!! what the fuck!!
