FEBRUARY - GREECE ***

Again the Parthenon in it's unsurpassed grace and harmony. To achieve its perfect straight form, the columns are narrower at
the top and the bases curve upward slightly at the ends.
Above the columns are the remains of a Doric frieze partly
destroyed by Venetian shelling in 1687
Quinn pondering her surroundings near the Beule Gate,
a Roman arch added to the Acropolis in 3rd century AD
A refreshing warm wind overlooking a theatre
just south of the Acropolis.
