i’m having a retro-fortnight on funkypancake, attempting to clear out some of my pending photo backlog. some go back a couple of years, but i don’t think any have appeared on funkypancake before (unless my photo organising system has failed).
so here are some pictures from athens last year.

Athens is in a bit of state. lots of it has fallen down or fallen apart or something.
