...seen through a fountain.
The Zappeion
is a building in the National Gardens of Athens in the
heart of Athens, Greece. It is generally used for
meetings and ceremonies, both official and private.
In 1869, the Greek Parliament allocated 80,000 m² of
public land between the Palace Gardens and the ancient
Temple of Olympian Zeus, and also passed a law on
November 30, 1869, "for the building works of the
Olympic Games" ,as the Zappeion was the first building
to be erected specifically for the revival of the
Olympic Games in the modern world. The ancient
Panathenian stadium was also refurbished as part of the
works for the Olympic Games. Following some delay, on
January 20, 1874 the cornerstone of the building was
laid; this new building would be designed by Danish
architect Theophil Hansen. Finally, on October 20,
1888, the Zappeion opened. Unfortunately for its
benefactor, Evangelos Zappas, he did not live long
enough to see the Zappeion built, and his cousin
Konstantinos Zappas was nominated by Evangelos Zappas
to complete the building.
The Zappeion was used during the 1896 Summer Olympics
as the main Fencing Hall. A decade later, at the 1906
Summer Olympics, it was used as the Olympic Village.
A number of historical events have taken place at the
Zappeion, including the signing of the documents
formalizing Greece's accession to the European Union on
January 1, 1981, which took place in the building's
marble-clad, peristyle main atrium.

Hallo Thor,
You have chosen an exciting point of view for this shot. A view through the jets of fountain is an innovative idea. Fine details and best luminosity. An excellent picture my friend, well done.
Thanks for sharing this image.
Nicely composed, taking advantage of a interesting foreground without taking away from the subject, but in fact enhancing it.
Cheers
otto
