Tirane Session
Tirane, Albania
Long leg1 Oct 2013 to 4 Oct 2013
Colour, traffic, Balkan energy, and a city capable of producing both real interest and absurd field notes.
Vlore Extension
Vlore, Albania
Long leg1 Oct 2013 to 4 Oct 2013
Coastal movement, road-based texture, and useful evidence that ICOM can survive proximity to the sea.

Painted façades try to cheer the blocky heart. Bunkers squat like stubborn punctuation, and the boulevard stretches into a haze of diesel and possibility.

Official highlight

Albania added Balkan warmth, road faff, and several pieces of lore that sound fake until catalogued.
