| More inside the museum. Posing with the antiquities is verboten, so we cheated, and Kathryn quietly looked at them while I shot with natural light. Ha. |
| Inside the museum of the acropolis. |
| A shot of the Parthenon without too much construction scaffolding on it. Part of a panorama I took from the acropolis that didn't turn out super well. |
| One of my favourites, in front of our hotel, and on the way to the stadium. It's a giant female marathon runner, made out of big sheets of broken glass. For the scale, observe the young naked boy playing in the fountain at the base. |
| These are not the sisters holding up the temple. They are replicas. They put the few real ones that weren't hauled off to the British museum in a safer place indoors. They make the point about how all the good stuff was taken off to the British museum (back when the Turks controlled Greece) a lot. |
| The Parthenon, with me and a lot of scaffolding. You'll see a bunch of it. There is a lot less antiquity to Athens than I had expected, and this is the core of it. So it is full of people. |
| The temple of Apollo, and the Agora (not for those with agoraphobia, I can tell you) viewed from the Acropolis. |
| More Parthenon. It's cool |
| It's a Greek Urn. You gotta have a picture of a Greek Urn. OK, seriously they are much bigger than I expected. You could have an ode on one easily. |
| A shot, part of a panorama that didn't work super well of the Olympic Stadium. Not the one for 2004, but the one for 1896, the first modern Olympics. They would not allow me to bring my tripod in here or anywhere else. |
| The theatre at the Acropolis. Remember Yanni live at the Acropolis? Of course you don't. However, if you hadn't blocked it out of your memory, this is where you would have remembered him playing. |
