Excellent shot Adrian! Very symmetrical composition, sharp lens and the cloudy weather-(or early morning?) sure helped!
I hope I can do a similar one....

Thanks a lot! I made it at 9AM. Forgive me, but I don't remember what was the weather that day. It was five years ago

I like your shot as well. Face of the guard on the right seems to say 'what the hell I'm doing here'

He was punished

haha! because he does this all the time:

I can imagine the list of phone numbers he might have

This is true. The guards have many offers from approaching citizens, especially late at night when they are guarding the Presidential building at the back which is more secluded.

stetzam do you know the meaning of the black thing on top of their shoes ? and the meaning of this black "horse tail" attach to their hat ?
It's very intriguing to me

The guards are called 'evzones' https://en.wikipedia.o​rg/wiki/Evzones
and their shoes are called 'tsarouchi' https://en.wikipedia.o​rg/wiki/Tsarouhi

I believe it must be tiring and demanding job. You can't move, and tourists can be very annoying as well. On the other hand it's very prestigious job. Almost every country has its own Tomb of The Unknown Soldier and in my opinion it's a honour to serve is such a place.
