Pond outside the Parthenon. There were ducks! Click here for the big blowup.	The tablet laid into the pond's side, just outside the Parthenon. Click here for the big blowup.
The front frieze of the temple.	More frieze-y goodness. The white tents were there for an outdoor wedding apparently hosted there.
And... more of the frieze. The colors were achieved with powdered, tinted concrete.	These are introduction plaques one sees just before going into the main Parthenon's display hall.
