Corner of the Parthenon, what's left after the destruction by the infamous Lord Elgin and his looters.
I have so many shots of the Parthenon I finally just picked one to post. i tried to find an angle that had not been done but with all the tourists up there (including me) there isn't much else possible.

The Acropolis of Athens is an ancient citadel located on an extremely rocky outcrop above the city of Athens and contains the remains of several ancient buildings of great architectural and historic significance, the most famous being the Parthenon.
Position: Acropolis, Athens, Greece is probably the most famous and most visited monument in the world from the Antiquity times. It is the symbol of Athens and its most famous landmark. On the rock of Acropolis there are several monuments from the Greek Antiquity. The Parthenon and other main buildings on the Acropolis were built by Pericles in the fifth century BC as a monument to the cultural and political achievements of the inhabitants of Athens. For its extraordinary historical value was 1987 registered on the world heritage List of UNESCO.
Atenas. En la fachada sur del Erecteion de la Acrópolis de Atenas se dispone la Tribuna de las Cariátides, obra de Calimacos, discípulo de Fidias.
El Erecteion albergaba los cultos más antiguos de la ciudad, estaba consagrado a los dioses Atenea, Poseidón y Hefesto y al rey mítico de Atenas, Erecteo.
Acropolis at sunrise, built nearly 2600 years ago, and withstood the acid rain and other environmental factors that destroy almost any building during 26 centuries.
I've been off the face if the internet for a month now. First for a trip to Greece and then the crash of my hard drive. But I'm slowly getting my back ups on to the new hard drive. I seem to have back ups of everything except my contact list.
These are photos of the Acropolis in Athens and was just day one of a 17 day tour, so I suspect I'll bore everyone to death with my holiday photos.
On the other side of the building is a well that was said to be the location where Poseidon's trident landed.
