As summer progresses, photos from around the world show people’s need to get out of their homes. From the photos below, it can be seen that from region to region, the reasons why people take to the streets differ significantly.
Great events, such as admiring the ancient civilization of Greece, celebrating their independence or even protesting, all these moments from the daily life of the world’s population, gave beautiful clicks to photojournalists. However, events that concerned them deserve to concern us as well. So, from warm Athens, let’s see what happened in the world through the enchanting photos.
Not much needs to be said about the photos below. They are concentrated in them what happened in the world last week.
