Howdy ya'll , This past weekend I walked around the streets of Athens with a Nikon D70 to take some feature photos. The sky and lighting was amazing and the colors and patterns of the buildings in downtown were really fun to photograph. Here is a collection of different photos including Athenians on a Saturday afternoon, dogs, the clouds and sky, and downtown architecture, please click on the individual pictures if you want to see closer:
