I was there too
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!

One from the same rooftop as yesterday’s photo of Malaga. The hotel had a rooftop pool, and when I ventured up there it was lit up. It was too cold to swim on an April evening, but the light was surreal. 🙂

I’m not a huge fan of anchovies, but the way these fish were displayed caught my eye. The silvery fish created an almost hypnotic pattern across the vendor’s counter, their tiny bodies catching the harsh market lights in a way that demanded to be photographed.

While waiting for the train in Athens, I spotted a pigeon walking around the station, calm as you can imagine, as if he owned the place.
A few minutes later, a train rolled in, passengers started moving, and the pigeon flew into the rafters. Observing all that he rules.
