This scene struck me even as I was taking it on Mykonos<\/a> in Greece. This woman seemed as if she’d always been a part of this view. That was her perch and her lookout spot and she sat there often, maybe even all day. She knew the inhabitants of each of those waterfront houses by name and which balcony belonged to whom.
