A Timeless Landscape





[[Athenian Acropolis]]

Last year I went with a group of friends to Greece - the weather was wonderful most days (there were a few downpours but, having come from London, I go nowhere without an umbrella so was prepared), and we saw some of the world's most famous antiquities up close and in person.

That not to overlook the landscape. This is a photo I took, looking up towards the Athenian Acropolis. I think the temple-like structure is the Propylaea, or gateway, though to be honest I can't quite remember from which angle I took this photo - I took so many!

But the sky was clear, the trees were a natural photoframe, and the Acropolis itself, with its sun-warmed stonework, complemented its surroundings perfectly.

The only pity was that my camera was old and very, very shaky - if I ever go back to Greece I'll take a better camera, all the better to capture more memories!
