Picking up from where we left off in Chapter 2, we return to Syntagma Square in the evening. Syntagma Square is also known as "Constitution Square" which was quite a fitting name given that the Greek parliament sits right there.
By now, a sizeable crowd had built up! We asked around and found out they were demonstrating against the Greek austerity bill that their parliament was about to vote on. There were people holding banners and stuff...one particular banner, the one in the lomo above, was criticising the IMF haha
There were large Greek flags on sale as well! Almost bought one but it wouldn't fit nicely into the luggage. Decided not to buy coz I felt it would be a hassle given the many more cities we are going to visit.
We too a bus service right to the countryside at Sounio where the Temple of Poseidon stands! It was huge so I had to stand rather far back to get this photo. It is situated on a cliff top and the view from there was awesome! The cliff was really tall and since it was the evening, we waited till sunset!
Here's a close-up of the Temple of Poseidon!
That concludes the Athens series of lomo pictures! As you might notice, we are only at film number 14 out of 36. Yes. I've planned to film Greece on one roll of slide film! The other pitstops are Mykonos and Santorini!
Be sure to catch the next blog post!
