Working on the Parthenon

Filling in some photos from Greece.
Parthenon at the top of the Acropolis -- one of the most photographed images in the world and this view is pretty typical. The sky was so clear and I liked how you can see how much work is being done, with all the cranes and scaffolds behind the columns.

Interesting to see the repairs etc. Nice image of this landmark building.

Fabulous pov gives a wrap around view of the columns and on-going work...great composition, sky scape

[Marci Elston]

Very cool. I hope to visit there some day.

[Danette Thompson]

The cranes and scaffolds certainly add a different element to such an ancient structure. Must have been impressive in person.

[Eve Pulsater]

Fab shot. They were working on it when we went there in the mid 1990s. Come to think of it, they were working on it when my Uncle John went on honeymoon there back in the early 1970s. These Greeks know how to spin a job out!

[Sally Ings]

A fabulous looking building. It must be quite something to see for yourself.

[Rosan]

Fabulous shot. I would love to go to Greece!

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Wonderful shot.

[Lin]

Wonderful capture - we have the replica here in Nashville..always so cool to see a photo of the real thing!

[carol white]

A super capture. Fav!! 😃 Wonder if they'll ever finish it, the scaffolding's been there for years

[Bob Zwolinsky]

I think the restoration is taking longer than the original build. It makes your apartment look like a quick turnaround.

[Elizabeth]

Great shot of this ancient icon! Haven't been there since the 80s. Would
love to return in the next few years.

[Francoise]

I like seeing the sky through the columns. And you did your usual magic: no people!!!

[Molly]

A beautiful image of this magnificent building.

[Janiskay]

Wonderful capture and information. Glad to see it is being taken care of.so many things go to pot because cities don't want to spend the money to restore them.

[Jocasta]

Great photo of this iconic image

[Yeshanghai]

Gorgeous capture! Love the POV and colors

[Suse♡]

Oh wow so you have been in Greece -awesome

[sally agnew]

Beautiful image, so crisp :)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

They are always working on the Parthenon! They were working on it when I was there in 2003. But even with all the scaffolding, it is still beautiful!

[Ann T.]

Gorgeous! Love the blue sky in the background.

[Pam Knowler]

Beautiful capture of such an iconic building!

[Margo]

Wonderful capture against the blue sky

[Rachel]

This looks amazing against the blue sky. And so much detail, it is a HDR?

[Babs]

Fabulous shot and I had to smile at Eve's comment. @creampuff They were still building it when we were there in 1986 too. When we lived in Cyprus they were still building Apollo's Temple. You can't rush into these things. One of the favourite words out there is Avrio - tomorrow.

[Tony]

Awesome !!

[Joyce]

Great capture and I'm glad you let us see the work being done as well.

[Eric di Bosco]

Classic view - looks great etched off against the blue sky.
