I was there too
The Odeon of Herodes Atticus is built on the slopes of the Acropolis. It must be stunning to view a stage performance there, but on this sunny afternoon it was empty, except for some people setting up cables, probably for a performance later that day.

A car parked on the pavement of a street at 190 Leof. Ionias in Athens, Greece. It’s half covered by sheets of plastic and cloth, but looking at Google Street View it appears to be there since at least 2022. Other cars have occupied this spot since at least 2009. That’s how far back that Street View goes.

A person climbs the stairs of a car park in Figueres, right next to the Dalí Theatre and Museum, if memory serves. A beautiful building surrounded by brutal modern structures for modern car life.

A tabby cat on a car roof, down a narrow street in Athens. He watched us carefully as we walked past, but he’s obviously used to people and didn’t budge at all, even as a stopped and took a few photos of him.

Figueres, in Catalonia, Spain is where Salvador Dali was born in 1904. You’ll find the Dalí Theatre and Museum in the town and some of his statues scattered around the place. Here’s one that’s fairly close to the museum. It’s quite a surreal piece, and it was quite a sight to see it out in public.
