This is the nice new Stoa built by the Americans along the side of the Agora in Athens, which houses a museum. Agora means open space, such as one would find in the centre of an ancient Greek city. From this we get the word "agoraphobia". I waited for some while to take this shot. First, for the sun to fall exactly half-way between the rows of columns, and second, for the visitors to get out of the way. I remember that a few pink-clad tourists had just stepped behind those columns on the left as I pressed the shutter.
