Need to scan paper photos and add to this page.

Athens - This is the entrance to the cell hacked into a cliff face where Socrates spent his last days on earth. During the Second World War the Greeks entombed the monument in massive concrete protective walls, only late chopping an exposure of the interior. For such an important historical figure I found it incredible something more elaborate had not been erected.

 

Athens Greece - One of the several "staple" holes carved into adjacent stones which were filled with molten metal to tie the two stones together, a construction technique used in many places around the world including Asia Miner (Turkey) and South America.

Athens Greece - I'm not sure what this is a picture of as it has been fifteen years since I took it. As it is adjacent to the staple photo, it might be related to that observation. NEED TO THINK MORE ABOUT THIS.

Athens Greece - Market area at the base of the hill on which sits the Acropolis in Athens.
