The guard changes every hour.

Love those outfits!
Very cool. The uniform is awesome!
BB and VL, they are truly something.
So odd, to my eyes, and yet so beautiful.
Happy Friday!

Thanks, Pearl. The uniforms looked so hot and itchy to me, but they are beautiful.
*Ahem* Third comment should read BL not VL.
Sorry.
Changing the guard is usually full of awe and pomp and ceremony. You've captured that.
Very cool capture. Ours is always an interesting ceremony in Ottawa. I'll bet this was a fascinating change.
Uniforms are usually hot and itchy, but at least this one has a built in fly whisk.
I know so little Greek history (after the Romans, at least) that I can't imagine how those uniforms evolved.
