TRIBUTE: I expect he was a lorry driver in the latter part of his life so a couple of photos in this topic will be appropriate. Rest in Peace dad (September 28th), we will miss you so very much..

Christo, I don't know what are the ''right'' words one should use in English in such a case...
I just wish you and your family a long and good life to honor your dad's memory.

thanks for sharing your family photos with us

...and for those who gave up smoking, they can always model a lorry like this one...

Note for the historian: If one googles the street one will find that the street has been built on the old trackbed of the JSC railway.
Note for the VW collector: Second photo with a red Beetle. (the other one here viewtopic.php?f=13&t=94)

Good afternoon,

Does anybody can share any scheme where I can observe the Ramona's junction and all around Thessaloniki (perhaps in the 'Station plans' string)?

regards

Ramona junction is circled in red. I am where the red arrow is in the park and I am shooting with my Pentax K1000 with a Vivitar macro lens.

PS. I hope I understood your question.
