  • Aerides - The Tower of the Winds or the Horologion of Andronikos Kyrrhestes is an octagonal Pentelic marble clocktower in the Roman Agora in Athens that functioned as a horologion or "timepiece". Unofficially, the monument is also called Aerides (Greek: Αέρηδες), which means Winds. The structure features a combination of sundials, a water clock, and a wind vane.[1] It was supposedly built by Andronicus of Cyrrhus around 50 BC, but according to other sources, might have been constructed in the 2nd century BC before the rest of the forum. In summer of 2014, the Athens Ephorate of Antiquities began cleaning and conserving the structure; restoration work was completed in August 2016.

  • Zahra (17) (blue scarf) with her family. They used to live in Kabul where her father was a Shia priest who the Taliban didn’t like and she was going to high school with high interest in mathematics that she would like to study. Her mother was a seamstress and she also has two brothers of which we can see the younger. They all left Kabul in order to protect her as they were informed by a letter that a week later she would be taken by the Taliban. One of her neighbourhood friends had already been taken by the Taliban and nobody knew what happened to her, an other one of her friends had been killed in a suicide bombing and she was very scared. She is hoping that the family can reach a country where they can sleep without fear and where she will not create any more bad memories.<br />
