Athens - Old Town House

From our Athens trip a few months ago,here's one example of a run-down town house that has major potential as the subject in a range of different media explorations.

As seen on Φραντζη (Frantzi), The rear of the property shows that it would have been - at one time - a major courtyard house that has been left to decay, possibly because of tax issues.

Old Athens - Windows and Doors

I am fascinated by old and traditional shuttered windows. When we are in Athens, I drag Sophie around back streets and alleys, taking photos of anything that takes my fancy as reference for future artworks. Above is a small painting based on photos taken during a previous visit.

And the track layout.

Here's the crossover at Kasamouli (ΚΑΣΑΜΟΥΛΗ). Showing the inset switches (points), the tram lights/signals and the overhead power system.

Athens trams. We spend some time in Athens every year if possible. When there I always try to get some reference shots of the trams.
