Closing hour in Athens - Greece

It was a period, in my not so extensive past as a photographer, during which I was continuously seeking for the street photography. Under the strong influence of the great artists in this domain like the French Robert Doisneau, Cartier-Bresson, Willy Ronis and Marc Riboud or Robert Capa the (Hungarian) world traveler and the Americans Garry Winogrand and André Kertész, I was chasing street scenes with great perseverance, wasting tens of thousands of clicks to try and catch "something". As this self-imposed behavior has changed in the meantime and since my eye's preferences in photography have also undergone a certain twist in the last years, I am producing less and less street photography. The present time "isolated", by the corona virus war, in my apartment and digging thru older works, I just came across an older pic taken in Athens that keeps my previous "fingerprint" of searching for the "DECISIVE MOMENT", a moment telling a full story. Since, IMHO, this click was worth its post-processing, I present the result here for your judgement.
