Many travelers to Athens, Greece, are struck by the graffiti that seems to cover the entire city. Interestingly, only one metro line, the Red Line, carries graffiti, while the others remain clean. Capturing this train at a slow shutter speed transformed the graffiti into a vibrant blur of colors. In the background, the Hellenistic Stoa of Attalos, rebuilt in the 1950s, stands as a testament to Athens’ rich past, with the Acropolis rising further in the distance. This image compresses thousands of years of Athenian history into a single frame, bridging ancient grandeur with contemporary urban life.
