Time Immortal

As Grace and I walked back to our hotel from the Roman Agora, we passed down many streets not unlike this one (although this was the only one I thought to take a picture of). Many of the streets in Plaka (that’s a touristy district in central Athens) are approximately this narrow, and yet one sees cars whipping along them with what could almost be termed reckless abandon. The sidewalks are hardly a place to feel completely safe from traffic.

This was a good walk overall, a fine end to another day of touring. If memory serves, we stopped at a little jewelry store called Plaka’s Agora, where we bought a nice pair of earrings for Grace that feature an ancient Greek symbol for eternity. We also bought a couple of icons while we were there — let’s face it, the Greeks do beautiful icons.

But back to the image for a moment. It’s a fairly straightforward shot, and all I really did edit-wise was clean up some chromatic aberration.
