My first shot when I was at the Acropolis, site of such archaeological importance in Athens.

It amused me that the first shot that grabbed my attention was nothing to do with the famous archaeology there but, instead, something concentrating on flow and texture. In one sense, the shot does capture something of the ancients, shows something that would have been an everyday sight to the people of the time.

Even though it was early spring, the sun was beating down and my poor bald pate was burning up in the heat. As a nod in that direction, I have emphasised the reds and yellows, turning up the heat of the shot to reflect what I was feeling at the time.
