Acropolis from Aeropagos
Propylea
Temple of Athena Nike
South side
East and South sides (before photoshop)
Erechtheum and sacred olive tree.
Karyatids of the Erechtheum balcony
Replacement wall photo that won't require hours to get rid of the scaffolding or fix the bad pruning
Unflattering photo of the West side. But they are doing amazing reconstruction!!!
At twilight
New sign on the acropolis announcing that "the most severe damage" was done by Lord Elgin, not the cannonball which blew up the gunpowder stored there 150 years earlier...
Acropolis Museum (not longer "New"). Fourth floor has the full scale mock up for the Parthenon frieze marbles. The blinds are drawn on the windows of the ones they don't have, and since 80m are in possession of the British Museum as compared to Greece's 50m, this is definitely a message.
Stairs!!! presumably leading to a cistern.
Absolutely striking!!
