[Leica] PAW 16 and 17 - Athens, The Parthenon

[pdzwig at summaventures.com (Peter Dzwig)]

Well, recently we took a short break and took the kids to Athens for a few 
days. 
A city I love, although much changed since I first went there. There will be 
a 
few Greek PAWs as I work my way through the backlog!!

Somethings change, but some don't:

as you look at this remember that at the time, 2400years ago,  our ancestors 
were living in mud huts and could never have entertained the idea of The 
Parthenon, much less to create sculptures of the sublime beauty of these.

Far less could they even have dreamt of creating the Beauties of the 
Erectheion 
who even in their present forlorn state - I know they are casts - are still 
a 
wonder to behold.

Don't forget that there were two Acropolises BEFORE this!

Constructive criticism is as always welcome, but just dwell on the beauty of 
Greece.

PS Yes, I am rather sold on Ancient Greece ;-)
