2018 Eastern Mediterranean Trip -Thessaloniki Iron Man/Woman Day Photos

An epic day of picture taking

We went so many places I could not keep track of them

So I've assembled the day's experience into categories

 Wife - Photo Ninja Warrior

Prepared to take on the Challenge

Determined Guide

Named after a warrior

Ready to lead us forth

Cat

Not giving a shit

Old Stuff

Byzantine and Ottoman Era Fortress

Late Roman Empire 

Victory Gate

I came

I killed a bunch of people

I took the rest as slaves

I'm great

Let's have some games

Praise the Lord!

A Roman/Greek Theater

Must be three days since we've seen one...will NOT go through withdrawal after all

 

Byzantine Churches

Ottoman Hamams 

Muslim Saint Tombs

Locked out as we were many places because it was a national holiday

 

Vistas

Cityscapes

See the big old building?

Our apartment was just to the left and a bit toward the top of the picture

Cat not caring in the slightest

Thessaloniki is awash with color

And awash with washing

The love affair with Orthodox church art continues!

Some of the oldest in the city...note the Christ without a beard...a rarity

In catacombs, guides lurk

And a different style presents itself

The complete church experience

 

A cat who cares

And birds take notice

Studies of balconeys

Studies of art on the street - intentional and otherwise

 

A different kind of artist at work

Who consoles us during our rain delay

Thessaloniki

An incredible city

A tableau

A feast for the eyes and the mind

But before we go

SIGNS OF THE WORLD
