A trick photo


By late morning the Old Town of Rhodos was teeming with tourists. I had taken a shot of this lovely square earlier but it came out too dark. When I returned later in the day the street was like Grand Central Station: people were constantly walking past or hanging out in the square. I waited patiently until, miraculously, the square was empty and, for two seconds, nobody was walking past. The shot looks like it is a serene and quiet place. In reality it was anything but. I am glad I took the time to get this shot. It is an illusion.
