...in ancient Greece... the ladies have to do the hard work ☺^☺, sustaining this roof on the Erechteion.

Well, these are copies anyway, the originals can be admired in the new Akropolis museum which can be found... below the Akropolis. We didn't visit it, due to time limitations. Con and Eleni told us that it was an idea to demolish some buildings between the new museum and the Akropolis. Since it were old buildings, they have been saved. Anyway, I'll post a view on the new Akropolis museum as a ws later on.

Tech talk

In camera compo.

Adjustment layers for levels & curves - only minor adjustments, though.

Downsized, framed and signed.

Will be back later on, tired now after a couple of days redecorating the kitchen and installing new appliances...

salut,
Très belle photos des cariatides de l'acropole. C'est évidemment une image classique mais très bien réalisée. Votre image est très riche dans détails. le ciel nuageux vous permet nous nous présenté une image avec une lumière très douce.

C'est une belle photo,
merci.

Bonjour Frank!

Un plaisir de voir ta photo aujourdh'hui .Plutôt insolite comme balcon , ou construction . il n'y a pas de porte y donnant accès. Copies ou pas , J'aime bien ! C'est un bel observatoire si on peut y accéder facilement par l'ouverture visible. la vue sur la gauche semble très imposante. ta composition nous y invite en tout cas.

Au plaisir de te revoir , une fois les rénovations complétées.
Amitiés,
Robert

You capture it beautifully Frank.

A classic view, and one we've seen many times before here - and even knowing it's not the original, it still gives a sense of wonder. So many generations have lived under the gaze of these statues, to us they have been there forever; in geological terms it's as brief as a sculpture made of butter.
Beautiful capture, well presented

The feminists will haunt you Frank :). Lovely colours and textures in the ancient stonework. Just enough PP work to bring out the colour and detail, well composed and presented.

PS thanks for the 'slideshow'

Hi Frank,

I like the close crop you have of the structure with Athens in the background. Nice detail of the statues hard at work! HA!

Makes me ready to visit Greece! Yiassou!!

Hi Frank
One of the most photographed scenes on the Acropolis, yet with a fresh look and a great POV. I like the sharp details and the modern city behind blending together in a marvelous way.
Well done and TFS

Copies though they be, it is still good to see where they come from. Very fine details, nicely handled light and shadow.
And I must say that I just love the style and placement of your signature :)

Hi Frank,

great capture. Love the light and your choice of composition.
Fortunately in Portugal, the ladies still do the hard work... Hi..Hi...Hi...

Best regards,

Later

Man man man toch !
Met zo'n titel maak je het beest in me wakker !
( miaauwww ... )
;-)

Nu ik ben streng-maar-rechtvaardig.
Denk ik.
Zij die me hierin niet volgen
hebben me nog niet begrepen.
Dat weet ik. ( Ook ivm emancipatie. )
Dat laat ik maar beter rusten.
LOL !

Je hebt me hier weer eens iets voorgeschoteld hé ... Oké ..

Ik ( en dat is dan mijn probleem hihi ... ) had je POV meer vanuit rechts gezien : iets minder muur langs rechts,
iets meer city-en-omgeving langs links.
" dominantie " van de beelden tov de achtergrond.
( daar is ie weer )

Ik zie overal " markers " langsheen dat spel !
( landmeter langsgeweest om er lofts van te maken ? )

Scherpte, scherptediepte, kleur zijn voor mij " AF ".
Spijtig dat de goeie elementen met weinig woorden
kunnen gezegd worden ...

Tot in den treure :
je " Dingo " staat daar voor mij niet op z'n plek.
Maar toch mooi lettertype !
Positief ingesteld blijven.
Ik zou dus evengoed aan een koppensneller zeggen :
" mooie snede dat je gemaakt hebt "
Hij zou antwoorden :
" da's maar voor de foto, indien het voor de verkoop was
dan zou ik dat nooit zo doen " ...
>:-)

Groetjes
Jan

Hi Frank,
Nice capture, the light and composition really bring out the details of the architecture, good job on that.
The depth is perfect, allowing enough of the modern times in the background to contrast with the example of ancient times in the foreground.
Excellent and controlled pp work too.
Thanks,
Wilt

Ja, inderdaad prachtig Frank,je voelt de geschiedenis. Ik heb er meer vanaf dit POV gezien,vast de beste keuze - het kan ook op TE zijn geweest.
In het vervolg niet meer je naam krassen in zo'n stukje klassieke geschiedenis!^-^.
.
Hoop dat alles op zijn plek zit in de keuken.
