Another photo of the Athens skyline featuring the Acropolis, with Mt Lycabettus in the background. It was taken in 1988, before the restoration of the Parthenon had progressed much. It was taken on Kodachrome 64, cutting edge for its day, but not as sharp as modern films or good digital cameras.
This is, of course, the Acrpolis in Athens. The photo was taken in 1988, before the large scale restoration work was too advanced.
This is the Temple of Olympian Zeus in Athens, with the Parthenon in the background.
