The Departed

These are death notices on a telephone company´s switchbox. In Athens there are no designated areas for such announcements so everyone uses walls, poles and any suitable surface.

It´s common that you can stick your notice or poster on other people ones, last week here was an anarchist movement´s poster, next week..who knows?

Interesting blog - I recognise a lot of the scenes you capture here; sometimes they make me laugh and other times make me shake my head.
Keep up the good work!

I recognise these notice Ovelikios, they were very common on the islands of Rhodes and Crete last I was there.

I see a lot of flyers around here for events, but have never seen a death notice posted. Interesting.
