Akropolis-Parthenon


the friezes to be put into place


hey look, it's big!


aw, it's a little broken.


strong Doric capitals. strong fluting. strong sun. Part of the inner freizes


a corner with its triglyphs, metopes, dentils, acroterion, and the stuff on the underside whose name I've forgotten


outer colonade, inner sanctum


even though I've memorized the dimensions of this temple and seen maybe thousands of slides and pictures, I was still taken aback by its size


oh man, look at the sculpture fitting in with the architectural pediment


the most photographed thing in the city with the hottest sun beating down.
