From Athens - Parthenon at Night

This is it...the classic nighttime photograph of the Acropolis, taken from the rock on which we were standing (Areopagos). A beautiful sight, which leaves one wondering exactly what it looked like 2500 years ago, or a mere 1500 years ago when the Parthenon that you see here was built.

I learned later in researching for this blog that the rock Areopagos, which we so serendipitously discovered that day, was where Saint Paul himself addressed the Athenians. Boy, sure wish I'd known that at the time...
