From the 15th-18th of May Athens hosted the annual ‘Art- Athina’.  Art-Athina is a contemporary art exhibition featuring Greek  and international artists.  It was a large exhibition that was held at a stadium (TaeKwonDo).  It was  interesting  seeing how Greek artists were expressing their opinions about the economic crisis in Greece through art. I left feeling very inspired and glad that there are so many people who are passionate about art in this monetary world.

It’s easy to want to get lost in these green fields

Just what all city folk like me needs, a quick escape to the countryside. Greece is a very small country, but the great thing about it is that there are so many unique landscapes. From the grey and noisy concrete city you can be transporeted to quiet green fields  in just a few minutes.

FYI-My photographs reminded my of a collage titled ‘Emerald Landscape’ that I made a while back! http://wp.me/pTPRg-i5

Κατι που χρειαζόνται οι ‘πρωτεύουσιανι’ σαν εμενα, ειναι μια γρήγορη απόδραση στην εξοχή.  Η Ελλάδα είναι μια πολύ μικρή χώρα, αλλά το συν είναι ότι μπορείτε να δείτε πολλές διαφορετικές τοποθεσίες.   Από τη γκρι θορυβώδη τσιμέντενια πόλη μεταφέρεσαι σε πράσινα λιβάδια σε λίγα μόνο λεπτά
