Thanks ashfaque, KonstantinosK is correct, I'm not Greek. I went to Athens with the wife and saw most of it through the lens of my camera (the wife's made peace with that) ;). I thought I'd be adventurous and set the camera to B&W from the start. In retrospect, I wouldn't do it any other way, ever again!

Congratulations, Lofos! The way you've captured the cloud and the mountain itself ought to deserve some recognition. A very moody picture. Thanks a lot for sharing. I hope things for you are not as bad as other Greeks.

I don't think that the guy is Greek, and "Lofos" is not his name. It means "hill" in Greek. But it's nice that you show concern ;)

Awesome pic of Athens. I have taken shots from the same spot but none is this dramatic.
