Caption

The Pnyx is a small hill facing the Acropolis where the ancient free male Athenian citizens would meet to discuss and vote to design and decide their future. Little is what remains of the place but the esplanade and the bema, a platform carved in the rock from which the orators adressed the crowd.

With democratic values under threat in so many countries around the world these days I thought that remembering this antique site was possibly the most meaningful contribution I could make to this December's Best Of 20018 WWP Event.

My two cents.

More pictures I took in Athens, Delphi, Sounio and Aegina.
