I was there too
Off to the side of Monastiraki Square, near the train station entrance is a Flormar store, and I when I saw what you see above I had to get a photo.
If you go there now, you might see that man. He was attending to a local stall and stepped away for a moment.

Monastiraki Square in Athens is a busy area for tourists, right next to many of the ancient sites of the city. It’s a bustling area, full of interesting characters, both local and foreign, and a great place to visit for a street photographer!

I was watching the sun set in Tenerife when a family approached and walked by. They were silhouetted by the sun, but instead of the usual black shadows, I wanted to try something different. No doubt the purists will be scoffing at the bright vignettes. Well, thanks. 🙂

Bishop Lucey Park in Cork is surrounded by hoarding with text describing the history of the area. But you don’t want to read about that, do you? That cute little doggy is all any of us wants to see. 🙂

The Silesian Insurgents’ Monument in Katowice, Poland stands next to a roundabout and a large building called KTW and The Spodek. KTW was only completed in 2022, and if you look at the city in Google Maps you’ll see a construction site there.
The monument was erected in 1967.

I found myself perched high above Los Gigantes, where the massive volcanic cliffs plunge dramatically into the Atlantic Ocean. The name, which literally means “The Giants,” couldn’t be more appropriate.
We stopped at a roadside vantage point along with several other tourists who were busy snapping selfies and enjoying the sunny afternoon.
The cliffs in the distance are really gigantic. This photo doesn’t do them justice, but I felt the contrast between the empty, abandoned pool in the foreground and the urban sprawl to the sea made this photo worth sharing.
