The building was the largest in length in Greece during the antiquity. It was rebuilt in the same style and shape from 1953 to 1956 with beautifully crafted marble columns. It is recognised as one of the most impressive stoa in the Athenian Agora. Typical of the Hellenistic age, the stoa was more elaborate and larger than the earlier buildings of ancient Athens. The stoa's dimensions are 115 by 20 metres wide (377 by 65 feet wide) and it is made of Pentelic marble and limestone. The building skillfully makes use of different architectural orders.

  • A window cleaner leathers down a freshly washed window of a terraced house in The Dingle district of Liverpool, England. Next door, the neighbour's favourite colour is obviously red - the colour of his home, his car and his favourite football team too - Liverpool FC. There is a sense of pride here, unlike other areas of the city where derelict streets are still common. Here, the paintwork is fresh, the cars are spotless and the red house has a burglar alarm on the wall. The sign there is a degree of wealth in this neighbourhood.

  • Two window cleaners safely attached to an outside cradle, wash the large panes of glass at a building at Broafgate in the City of London. While stretching with his long sponge into the corner of this window, one worker on the left is wiping soapy liquid onto the grimy glass before cleaning it off with a squeegee. His colleague on the right is communicating with the cradle operator in the building's roof, way above these men, in order to raise the cradle and allowing the men to achive the correct operating height. Far below them is the capital's Square Mile, London's financial and oldest area. The famous dome of St Paul's Cathedral can be seen most prominently although it is a grey day across this modern metropoliss skyline.

  • As a sleeping homeless man lies curled up in his sleeping bag on a central London pavement, two window cleaners have carefully placed their ladders at his feet to clean a Boots the chemist sign. Each wearing identical blue working overalls and each wiping the frontage with their left hands, the men are symbolic of the working man versus that of a homeless person without a job, prospects or perhaps a future. The wide gap between hopelessness and the pride of one's achievement is shown here on the sidewalk of modern-day Britain. London is home to some 50,000 homeless people whose place of rest can often be recesses and shop doorways where they seek sanctuary from the cold and street violence. On the opposite end of the wealth and social divides are those who seek work with a positive outlook on life.
