Surprising Incidence of Modern Art

You don't see a lot of modern art in Kalymnos. It's not really their style, but these little 3D panels adorn th outside wall of a local shop and they are quite modern/urban.

They are roughly 60 x 30 cm and protrude maybe 5 cm from the wall at their deepest.

We like.

You Don't Need All The Gear

Some people take fishing seriously and have all the latest gear.

In Kalymnos, this is also a common sight. A bloke rolls up to the wharf on his scooter, drops a line over the side and stays there until he harvests enough sea-meat to go home again.

No fuss, no fanfare. This is fishing for fish's sake.

After The Rain

One morning after the rain (this is from a few months ago - maybe Feb). It's nostalgic on occasions like this when our corner of the Aegean has a very Scottish-looking sky.

The Plateia

Up towards Agios Savvas.

Back streets.

Beware of the (Pathetic) Dog

ΠΡOΣOXH ΣKYLOΣ (Prosochi Skylos)

The sign promises terror, danger and sharp teeth.



Reality is a "dog" you could fit in your wallet.

Beware? Of that? Do me a favour.

Nice Dead Bike

This bike looks very cool for having been burned and stripped of all its paint, rubber, decals and other frippery.

Now its just core metal bike.

Sweet.

Euro Punk

It's amazing how widely one individual idea can spread, especially when it seems so unimportant.

I swear to God you can go to just about any town or city in Europe and find "Sid Vicious" sprayed in close proximity to "Punk's Not Dead" (or spelling variant).

Sid Vicious died thirty years ago and had been famous for about two years. They're still writing his name on the walls of countries he never visited.

Not bad.

Blue on Blue
