Everybody's Talking, But, Nobody's Listening. Gournes (Γούρνες, Κρήτη) Crete

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 15:34 +0000

Another from the disused, almost secret, American base at Gournes (Γούρνες, Κρήτη) Crete. These masts are the most dominant feature at the base and it would seem the best preserved. The rest of the base is looking a bit sorry. It is covered in graffiti and being used in many places as a temporary/permanent home for what looks like immigrants. Some of the building have been reclaimed and made to look nice, but, the whole complex is a bit sad. Anyway here is an aerial view. You can clearly see the masts in the centre of the photo and the remainder of the base surrounding it. gotten so good at hiding it even he does not admit it that glittering flash in his eyes makes it look like he might be alright if the blues are you hunter then you will come face to face with that darkness and desolation and the endless depression but you are not helpless Listening to: "Blue Chicago Moon" (Didn't It Rain) - Songs: Ohia James H.

Lonnie's Used Cars, 1612 S US Highway 281, Alice, TX 78332

Mon, 06 Sep 2010 18:15 +0000

Alice, Texas was the place. Somewhere I know I will return as it seemed so full of opportunities. Pretty much in the middle of nowhere, but, it had a stack of motels there now offering weekly rates! I'm guessing it may not have always been that way. You just know this place was thriving at some stage. This seemed to tick all the things I love about the US. I need to return. Here is a street view of the place. It doesn't do it justice, but, you might enjoy a poke around. Half of the time we're gone but we don't know where We don't know where Here I am Half of the time we're gone but we don't know where We don't know where Listening to:"The Only Living Boy in New York" (Bridge Over Troubled Water) - Simon & Garfunkel Philip-Lorca diCorcia

Four Ovens, One Room And No Food. Pachia Ammos (Παχειά Άμμος) Crete.

Fri, 03 Sep 2010 17:58 +0000

I have been looking at this empty shell of a hotel for years, for the 12 years I have been going to Crete. I had no idea why it was built as it is in the middle of nowhere. The place is a shell, a shell that was never inhabited, anyway, this trip I made a few enquiries and it seems that many years ago there was talk of a new airport being built in the area and obviously this place was started in anticipation. Now it just sits, a huge lump of concrete used by the locals as storage space. I think that this is the kitchen. The last thing that I saw As I lay there on the floor Was "Jesus Saves" painted by an atheist nutter And a British Rail poster read "Have an Awayday - a cheap holiday - Do it today!" I glanced back on my life And thought about my wife 'cause they took the keys and she'll think its me And I'm down in the tube station at midnight The wine will be flat and the curry's gone cold I'm down in the tube station at midnight Don't want to go down in a tube station at midnight Listening to:"Down In The Tube Station At Midnight" (All Mod Cons) - The Jam Palmer Davis

Old Pharmacy And Greek Flag. Kato Horio (Κάτω Χωριό, Κρήτη) Crete.

Mon, 30 Aug 2010 18:11 +0000

A return to the village of Kato Horio (Κάτω Χωριό) and to an old pharmacy that I discovered a few years ago. I like to revisit these places to see what time and other intruders have done to the place. Thankfully this place had been pretty much left alone, a few bottles smashed and a few other things removed. It was hotter than I remember. Trying to capture it with a different camera, a different perspective was the aim! Here is an aerial view of Kato Horio (Κάτω Χωριό). Unhappiness where's when I was young And we didn't give a damn 'Cause we were raised To see life as fun and take it if we can My mother, my mother She hold me, she hold me, when I was out there My father, my father He liked me, oh, he liked me.

Was driving north on U.S. 281 from Alice, TX. I had stayed over night in Alice and was very taken with the place. there was so much to photograph there, I will have to return. Anyway, this was taken north of there just south of the small town of Encino, TX. Here is a street view of the garage and the area. Death don't have no mercy in this land Death don't have no mercy in this land, in this land Come to your house, you know he don't take long You wake up one morning and your whole family be gone Oh, death don't have no mercy in this land Listening to:"Death Don' Have No Mercy" (Harlem Street Singer) - Rev.

Mon, 16 Aug 2010 06:10 +0000

The Texas Theatre, home of Palestine Community Theatre, is the crown jewel of downtown Palestine. and the finest venue for live entertainment in East Texas. This historic structure, located at 213 W. Crawford St in Palestine, Texas, is a prime example of Spanish Colonial architecture and was designed as an atmospheric movie palace when it opened in 1930. After two devastating fires, and a host of closings and re-openings, the Texas Theatre has been reborn to its new purpose: live theatre. Here is a street view of the The Texas Theatre and the surrounding area.

Trees For Privacy. Oklahoma State Highway 72, Council Hill, OK 74428

Wed, 11 Aug 2010 08:15 +0000

Okay, all I remember was I was driving south from Tulsa, OK towards Dallas on Oklahoma State Highway 72 and this is close to a town called Council Hill. There were a lot of vans like this down there - you really wouldn't want to be in one when the wind blows would you! Anyway here is an aerial view of Council Hill and the surrounding area. Could you grow a new heart And could you run the distance In the time that it takes Before it all fell apart? We fell through the cracks Stole the sheets and burned the maps Watched the smoke flying from the stacks Before it all fell apart Particles on the fringe There's a heaviness, this stillness brings Those twisted palms, oh how they swing Telling tales, young breathless things Things that move on Left wandering where the mystery's gone Listening to: "Grow A New Heart" (Oh, My Girl) - Jesse Sykes And The Sweet Hereafter Lorenzo Moscia
