When the sun is shining, it’s nice to have portable shade in the form of an umbrella. In Athens on the day this photo was taken it was a hot day! The Basilica of Megali Panagia (which translates to “Great Virgin Mary”) was an early Christian basilica built in Athens during the 5th century AD….

A couple sitting at an outdoor table in a little café in Athens, Greece about a year ago. Their body language couldn’t be more different, and every time I look at this image, I wonder what they were talking about. Their roles in this conversation are opposed.

While wandering around a market in Athens, I saw this man sitting on the ground outside his tool-filled shop. He seemed very relaxed and was chatting to a nearby man. I hope that beer was nice and cold as it was quite a warm day! The Areti beer seen in the photo is a Greek…

It was a blisteringly hot day in Athens when we were walking around the ruins of the old city when I saw this woman in a bright yellow jumpsuit approach. That yellow colour jumped out at me, but it was only later I noticed the man behind her carrying her bag. Is that a charging…

I was lucky he didn’t spot me taking this candid photo.

One of the sellers at an antique market in Athens watched us walk past on a sunny day in May 2024.

We were on our way to lunch when I spotted this gentleman sitting on a crate, chatting to a person in a newspaper kiosk.

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.
