...just a funshot, taken on the way up to the Acropolis.


My small tribute to Greece for giving us the philosophers and democracy.

******************************

Greece (officially the Hellenic Republic)
is a country in Southeastern Europe, situated on the
southern end of the Balkan Peninsula. It borders
Albania, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and
Bulgaria to the north, and Turkey to the east. The
Aegean Sea lies to the east and south of mainland
Greece, while the Ionian Sea lies to the west. Both
parts of the Eastern Mediterranean basin feature a vast
number of islands.

Greece lies at the juncture of Europe, Asia, and
Africa. It is heir to the heritages of classical
Greece, the Byzantine Empire, and nearly four centuries
of Ottoman rule. Regarded as the cradle of western
civilization and the birthplace of democracy, Western
philosophy, the Olympic Games, western literature,
political science, major scientific principles and
drama including both tragedy and comedy, Greece has a
particularly long and eventful history and a cultural
heritage considerably influential in Northern Africa
and the Middle East, and fundamentally formative for
the culture of Europe and what may be called the West.

Modern Greece is a developed country, a member of the
European Union since 1981, a member of the Economic and
Monetary Union of the European Union since 2001, NATO
since 1952, the OECD since 1961, the WEU since 1995,
and ESA since 2005. Athens is the capital;
Thessaloniki, Patras, Heraklion, Volos and Larissa are
some of the country's other major cities.

Hi Thorsten

Good use of repetition from the Greek flags, with superb colour & sharpness. The wide angled format was a good choice. Tfs!
