The sights and sounds from the city of antiquity
The hum of an occasional car darting through the maze of streets below
The mournful hiss of a street cat
The cubist composition of layered apartments
A woman’s silhouette within a window
The clanging of bells, frenetic with energy
The clink of forks and knives on ceramic plates
The glitter of solar-powered water heaters
The fizz of a scooter shooting around a corner
The bored bay of a dog in the dwelling below
The squeals of children running and playing
The Parthenon, silent and glowing, supervising the
Sights and sounds of Athens at night
Thanks for reading! Last Thursday evening, I recorded what I saw and heard from our balcony in Athens. I hope you feel as if you were there with the details I gathered. Follow my blog for more from our excursion to Greece and Skopelos Island, specifically.
