As in most countries that indulge the practice, the changing of the Presidential Guard in Greece is serious business. Steeped in tradition. Pomp and precision.
It's also the flat-out goofiest display of psuedo-military force in the civilized free world (or at least that portion to which I've managed to schlep my camera). Of course, it's probably hard for an enemy to attack while they're clutching their sides in laughter so who am I to judge...
