Acropolis in the evening light. Η Ακρόπολις στο βραδυνό φως.

A couple of weeks ago, I was walking around Acropolis of Athens. It was late in the day, just a little before the sunset. There were many people around. Because the national opera theater of Greece would be performing Giuseppe Verdi's "Nabucco" , later at the ancient theater of Herod under Acropolis.
Πριν δυο βδομάδες έκανα το βραδάκι μια βόλτα γύρω από την Ακρόπολη. Είχε αρκετό κόσμο. Γιατί στο Ηρώδειο είχε την παράσταση της όπερας του Βέρντι "Ναμπούκο", από την Λυρική Σκηνή.

    The early morning light...how can you resist it? I wish we were having a bit more of that over here these days... as it is, sunshine has become a luxury.

    Thanks for these uplifting photographs!

    Έχουμε σκεφτεί ποτέ πόσο τυχεροί είμαστε, που τέτοια μοναδικά μνημεία έχουμε;

    Ευχαριστώ Κωστή για την απόλαυση!

    Another of my favorite memories of Greece! There is simply nothing quite like the Acropolis! The evening program that they had there back when I was there was so moving, exciting, breathtaking! And so are your captures for the day, Costas! Thank you for the memories!

    Even though it is probably one of the most touristic places on Earth, it still is a magic place to me.
