Colourful Bird Athens Markets 1988

This amazing bird very happily perched outside a pet shop in Athens' markets in 1988. When I visited in 1996 it was stuffed - literally. It's owners had it preserved when it died.

Another photo of the Athens skyline featuring the Acropolis, with Mt Lycabettus in the background. It was taken in 1988, before the restoration of the Parthenon had progressed much. It was taken on Kodachrome 64, cutting edge for its day, but not as sharp as modern films or good digital cameras.
