'Cat amongst the Pigeons' - Athens 1989
|click to view fullsize image|

It was an absolutley monstrous journey from Athens by coach, well actually in any normal circumstances it wouldn't be, but this was on the 'Magic Bus', a one stop all in ticket from your chosen location to London Victoria Bus station..... it wouldnt have been so bad if the bus didnt change 20 times on the way back, it was a killer..... and a very long story...

I'd been to see my best friend on Corfu, and ran out of cash, was able to sell the return stub of my flight ticket so that I could stay for longer, but then ran out of money for the return flight, this was before cheap airlines. Anyway I found this bus ticket that could get you back for £15, and I found out the hardway.....just why it was so cheap....

This shot was of a ferral street cat in the centre of Athens in the mid afternoon sun.... it was a chance frame, but I instinctively knew when he was about to pounce......

As always let me know what you think....
