Beauty in Athens

from Al Jazeera:

She was probably in her mid-forties, dressed in black, with a ring through her nose. She was screaming abuse at the riot police, who had made some arrests, and were leading the suspects away.
I asked her if she wanted to tell Al Jazeera how she felt. She looked at me with disgust.
"You are a journalist!"
This was true, so I nodded.
"****ing media, full of lies, **** off!"

Just round the corner, a menacing group of youths approached us. Their faces were covered in masks, and they carried rocks and sticks.
"Stop filming", they ordered, "Or you and your equipment will be damaged. Get away from here."

On the roof, their colleagues were busy lowering the blue and white Greek flag, and raising the black and red flag of Anarchy.

in my capacity as a journalist, I have rarely felt myself the focus of such hatred and suspicion as I have here in Athens.
