Description
The Athenian Acropolis, is a rocky hill, that sits in the middle of Athens, Greece. It truly is an outstanding example of an "Architectural Ensemble," showcasing its important historical phases, since the 16th century B.C.E. The monuments of the Acropolis are distinctly unique structures, evoking the concepts of that period in the 5th century B.C.E., and representing the height of ancient Greek architectural achievement.
The grand composition of these marvelous, massive structures creates a monumental landscape of unique beauty to behold. They are made up of a complete series of architectural masterpieces of the 5th century B.C.E.
One of those masterpieces is the prominently, magnificent temple, the Parthenon. This close-up scenic view, is as seen from our hotel, ironically named "The Artist's Loft." It is late spring, and the beautiful greenery surrounds the Acropolis, it is truly "Parthenon Pageantry."
💕It’s with heARTfelt Appreciation and Thanks to the Administrators for these HOMEPAGE FEATURES in their Art Group💕

Cindy Treger
Wow, Janet, simply stunning shot. f/l
Janet Marie replied:
Thank you, Cindy, for your awesome comment. I can't believe I was actually there to take such a picture. It was unfortunate to be under some renovation work, but it is some pretty ancient, historical achaeology. It's amazing to think it has withstood war.
Nikolyn McDonald
What a sight! Love the way it's showcased on that magnificent rocky plateau against the blue sky.
Janet Marie replied:
Thank you Nikolyn for sharing your wonderful comment. What a sight indeed. Just one of the monuments atop the Acropolis wall, but the most prominent.
Jerry Bokowski
The greatest jig saw puzzle in the world some have named this as it had been blown up. It has come a long way but still much to do...still beautiful and ancient!...Fav / Like
Janet Marie replied:
Thank you dear Jerry! It certainly was amazing to think of standing in such history. Viewing the Parthenon from afar was quite a sight. I had to pinch myself that I could view it from our Artist's Loft picture window. Lit up at night was amazing.

Thank you dear Heather. What a lovely surprise. I have been thinking of you and wondering how you are. So wonderful to have you visit mine and Jerry’s gallery and share your beautiful thoughts about our artwork. You are forever in our thoughts as we have your beautiful owls in our sound immersion room. It’s a music haven, and your owls add to the peace experienced. Jerry has this room especially designed for creating a sound stage, as though listening live. I am now in a space for posting these images of history. We had this view from our hotel loft. At night it is lit up. I am glad you like it and have chosen it as one of your favorites too! Thank you for that, I really appreciate it. Big hugs 💕Janet
