(Photo by Jeffrey Fillion, January, 1990 Acropolis, Athens, Greece)I went to Italy & Greece during the month of January, 1990. I saw soooo many incredible things I'd only read about or never thought about. Lately, I watch the Travel Channel... and there was a recent episode about Athens, Greece.
I remember going to the Acropolis. Standing in front of the Parthenon. My mouth open in awe. The two professors who were leading the college group I was part of... calling me to come back and listen to their lecture. Yeah. Right. I'm in front of a building thousands of years old... and they want me to listen to them flap their lips. I never took my eyes off the Parthenon as I backed away and toward the professors.
I don't have a photo scanned of the Acropolis. I did take photos... just didn't scan them. I did scan this photo. A broken statue of a male that I saw in piles of ruins around the Parthenon. If you look you can also see a horse's head on the left side.
So, the Acropolis... I'd say that it definitely ranks as one of the top ten of my own personal list of wonders of the world that I've seen.
