Walking in Glyfada. Βόλτα στην Γλυφάδα.

A modern building just finished.

Μόλις τελείωσε η κατασκευή ενός  νέου κτιρίου.

A children s playground.
Μια παιδική χαρά.
Purple blooms against the sky.
Λουλούδια κάτω από τον ουρανό.

  2. Looks like a lovely day in Athens -- trees blooming children playing--
    That building is a beautiful example of modern glass architecture -- increasing in popularity over the past few decades. Glass is an inexpensive material and is environmentally friendly and fully recyclable, an important consideration. The part I enjoy about these buildings besides the ascetics is the glass creates an airiness, and provides a sense of space as it allows natural light to enter buildings and opens up to the natural landscape. the building also has a playful colorful quality to it.

  7. What a lovely walk you've taken us on, Costas! It's so interesting to see a "modern" side of Glyfada. It's hard for me to think of Greece/Athens as a modern city because I love it's ancient history. Your photos are always a delight! Hope you have a great weekend! And take more photos! Love/appreciate the ones you share with us.

  8. I'm in full agreement with Sylvia - it's embarrassing to admit I always think of Greece/Athens as ancient ruins. At least I USED to - since I started reading your blog and seeing your beautiful pictures, I know there's so much more!

    I really like the way colors were used to accent the windows in that new building.
