use of teargas by police during a demonstration in 2007 about the destructive Parnitha forest fires
Expressive, extremely powerful and just as appropriate today as it was then...
This photo was taken in 2007 and not during today's demonstrations and the violence which erupted in the center of Athens before and after the voting of the mid-term fiscal measures in Greece's Parliament...
A sad day for Athens , a sad day for Greece...
It's an amazing photo. And just as appropriate today during such sad times.
