i found myself the pedestrian bridge by santiago calatrava at the intersection of mesogeion and katehaki and thought i'd take a few shots -- but these awful elements were annoying. in the end, i decided that i'd focus a bit on the details. maybe i'll go back and try to take something more general, but, for now, you'll have to rely on flickr and google.

i've added this image to the map on the original flickr page.
