Work day over; the evening, the true time of Athens, about to start.

The sun no longer burning, but the air is warm and mellow. Sitting and listening and watching, mentally flowing into the rhythm of the city. Someone once said that the highest emotion a human can aspire to is serenity. It can be achieved on a balcony in Athens in the early evening.
