interrupted

I was taking a typical sunset from my village, with a bridge and some trees in the frame - nothing really fancy or original. Since I wanted some longer exposure times and didnt have my tripod with me, I used the tree as a temp sollution but...



...I got interrupted by small quake that moved the camera. To my surprize, the final effect was quite interesting :-D

nine years later

It will be 9y this summer since 2004's Olympic Games in Athens. The majestic sports center got a bit old and lost some of it's glamour, but it is still very popular place for citizens for any kid of sports activities or family walks.



It is a quite recognizable 'tunnel' at the entrance of the center, desgined by Santiago Calatrava, with small water area just behind it. In far right, You can see some of construction of olympic stadium.
