What are these? - In one of the old towns around Eleftheroupoli stands this beautiful old house, with this weird, weird painting. I recognise the cypress trees, and the other flowers are realistic enough, but what are those two creatures, and why are they chained?

Nice spot - Here we relaxed for a bit. There was this wooden bridge over the stream and my aunt Popi and I laid down there for a while, face down, looking at the water passing through the rocks below us. Nobody there, wonderfully relaxing.

His aunt’s house - Together with my aunt Popi we walked around some villages in the Eleftheroupoli area. This picture is taken right outside Domatia. Popi’s husband, Moschos, spent his summers here, his grandmother was from this village. We walked past this wonderful mountain stream when we saw...

Wandering rocks - According to the sign these are the Wandering Rocks, where Ulysses had to sail through. We walked through them without an issue. There was no sea to be found around here, high up in the mountains, so I’m not entirely sure if these were the exact same rocks.

Vasilis Tsitsanis Square - Up in the old town of Thessaloniki is the Vasilis Tsitsanis square. There’s also a statue of the man, but it looks like a politician, which is ridiculous.

Mount Olympus - Looking down, from the old town of Thessaloniki, at the sea. If you look closely you can see Mount Olympos on the other side of the gulf. And if you zoom in and enhance, you can see Zeus and Hera squabbling on their thrones.

A car - I think someone forgot where they parked their car, a while ago. The old town of Thessaloniki is a maze, so it’s understandable.

Ongelezen boksbal - De ongelezen boksbal, een evenement van de Ongelezen Boeken Club. Docenten moesten er achter komen welke leerlingen een boek van de boekenlijkst wel of niet gelezen hadden. Uiteindelijk gingen een leerling en een leraar daadwerkelijk boksen. Het was nóg briljanter dan het al klinkt.

Nuance, or no nuance - A while ago I made a nuanced thing. It said almost the same thing on both sides: (1) On the other side it says something different, and (2) On the other side it says something differently. It was based on a work of art made from glass that I made in the 90s. But then...
