1943 mussten rund 300 Juden ein Ausweichgleis an der Bahnstrecke von #Thessaloniki nach #Athen verlegen. Die unmenschlichen Bedingungen überlebten viele Zwangsarbeiter nicht. Ein Projekt soll diese Geschichte aufarbeiten.

Should I miss having something to drink like every night in Thessaloniki?

Hmh 🤔🤔
Yes decided to miss it😁

I had not drunk for years

I begrudge it 🤦🏼‍♀️😂😂

The best at the end...I had a bottle in my hand luggage to drink before the flight..
But what did I do...I forgot the bottle and the dear gentleman at the airport control discovered the stupid bottle of course and it was destroyed...poor little space bottle 😳😳😭😭🤦🏼‍♀️😂😂

So I thought it was funny to take this picture in Thessaloniki😆

There is a YMCA in Thessaloniki! 🤦🏼‍♀️😁 Hooray!!!

You shouldn't pay anything for this insight...and wonder if the woman who took this picture, i.e. me, considers it such an amazing surprise to find a YMCA in a major city 😂

Little dumb joke....
And yes I've known this building forever...😆

For those who always wanted to know how YMCA is spelled in Greek....😊🤩🙈😁😘

For today, two close-up photos of arthropods: a wolf spider (probably Alopecosa albofasciata) showing off its fur and all its eyes, and a very round, black beetle (maybe Pimelia graeca) with golden rings between its segments.

#Photography #NaturePhotography #Insects #InsectPhotography #Spider #Wolfspider #Beetle #Pimelia #Thessaloniki #Greece

Close-up photo of a furry wolf spider on red clay tiles. Probably Alopecosa albofasciata.

The fur on the legs of the spider is nicely visible. The main body is black, the top of the body is white with a black spot at the back.

When zooming in the eyes of the spider can be seen.
A close-up photo of a black, round beetle on dry soil. Maybe a pimelia graeca.

Between the head and the neck, and between the neck and the main body of the beetle a golden ring can be seen.

The main body of the beetle is not smooth but has a rough texture.

And a few more photos from today's walk with @vivia. This time very small things.

Featuring: a honeybee on a searocket flower, an Oleander flower that is just about to open, an unripe, green almond that looks like a furry kiwi, and the colorful flower of a feijoa tree.

A photo of a honeybee on a purple searocket flower. Its eyes and antennae are clearly visible. In the background the sand of the beach can be seen.
A close-up photo of a pink Oleander flower that is just about to open. It looks like a five-pointed star.

In the background a few dark red and still closed flower buds are visible, and the leaves of the plant.
A close-up photo of an unripe almond that is still in its green and hairy shell. Next to it are some other almonds and leaves on its tree branch.

The almond looks a bit like a furry kiwi.
A close-up photo of a feijoa tree flower. Its flower leaves are light pink, the center dark red with a bit of gold.

Next to it are a few still closed flower buds.

Some photos from today's walk with @vivia. It was quite warm today!

Featuring: a bright green ring-necked parakeet sitting on a dead tree branch, a small pygmy cormorant in the sea, a loudly singing, shining starling and a colorful goldfinch.

The parrot looks half towards the camera and its bright green colors give a strong contrast to the grey sky and leafless branches.
A photo of a pygmy cormorant sitting on a rusty metal pole in the sea. Its profile is visible, and despite the bad light conditions its white-ish ring around the eyes and the brown-ish head are distinct from the darker body.
A photo of a colorful, European starling sitting in the grass, surrounded by some clover flowers. The starling's beak is open and its neck feathers are fluffy in this moment because it was singing.

The violet, green, blue and golden shimmer of its feathers is clearly visible.
A photo of a European goldfinch sitting on a thistle branch. Its profile is visible, with the red feathers at the front of the head and the golden/yellow feathers on the sides of the wings.

A small selection of cats and ducks from today's walk with @slomo .

And a second set of pictures from today's bike tour.

This time with little animals: a calico kitten, a busy bee collecting plum blossom nectar, a round bumblebee with shiny eyes doing the same, and some kind of red/black leaf beetle on a blackthorn tree branch.

Featuring: a colorful kite (not a flower!) caught by a tree, a magnolia tree with a big pink flower, an almond tree in full bloom, and some kind of plum tree, also in full bloom.

An almond tree in full bloom. Many branches full of white and pink blossoms are visible in front of the blue sky.
A branch of some kind of plum tree full of flowers and flower buds with the blue sky in the background. Next to it many other branches are visible.

Spring is clearly approaching. It's already warm enough for grasshoppers to sunbathe on the balcony. I wonder why its eyes appeared striped like this.

Also a picture of a very round and fluffy sparrow sitting on a wire.

This time featuring: a group of 15 or so starlings on a ship's mast, a hummingbird hawk-moth sunbathing on some bricks (unfortunately I didn't catch it on a picture while flying around), some nice almond blossoms in full bloom, and a ring-necked parakeet on a tree's trunk with a hole that looked like it was preparing a nest.

A set of photos from today's walk in the sun with @vivia. First day this year that I could walk outside with just a t-shirt.

This time the pictures feature a pair of round starlings, a cormorant with its catch (some kind of worm), a very fluffy black redstart and a cat that looked annoyed at us interrupting its sunbathing with our noises.

Auschwitz Memorial
5 months ago

For at least the fourth time since it was installed in 2014, vandals desecrated a Holocaust memorial in Thessaloniki, a Greek city whose population once had a Jewish plurality.

90% of Thessaloniki’s Jewish population was deported to death camps.

Der 16jährige #KostasFrangoulis starb heute

Alle auf die Straße heute !
#1312 #ACAB

"Der 16-jährige Kostas Fragoulis, der von einem Polizisten in den Kopf geschossen wurde, starb heute. Er hatte acht Tage lang im Hippokrates-Krankenhaus um sein Leben gekämpft, nachdem er operiert worden war, um die Kugel zu entfernen, die ein Polizist abgefeuert hatte. Der Fall hat explosive Zustände in Roma-Gemeinden geschaffen, ihre Lager sind in Aufruhr. Linke Organisationen und antiautoritäre Gruppen riefen für heute Abend um 18 Uhr zu einer Versamlung auf den Propyläen (Tor der Akropolis) in Athen auf. Ähnliche Mobilisierungen werden in Thessaloniki und an anderen Orten erwartet. ..."

When the state apparatus seeks to cover up, cover up, soften the consequences, we will be there, so that Kostas, Shampanis, Alexis, Mangos, Zak, Ebouka and all the victims of state violence are not forgotten . Let’s not get used to death! No peace without justice!“
