This is one of the informative signs I captured when I visited the Acropolis of Athens last year. There are many archaeological remains throughout the site and each major structure has informative pictures to help you identify the ruins and a short description on the history of the restoration works.
I've captured a section of the informative text as a reference so that I can read it on my computer anytime.
Here's the Propylaia, the entrance to the Acropolis

What a fascinating place to visit and great shots of it. I see I'm not the only one who photographs signs. Fun that we both had the same idea for this theme.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for the theme, and what an amazing place to visit! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's funny, I do that too! Mostly I do it at the beginning of a photo shoot so that I can later figure out where the heck the photos are from if it's not obvious.
ReplyDeleteLove to see nice old solid rocks buildings..tQ
ReplyDeletePerfect for the theme.
ReplyDeleteI may be a lousy photographer but I definitely appreciate nice shots like yours!
ReplyDeleteHow fortunate to be in Athens! Back in the 60s, before the air pollution became a problem, it was so much easier to access the sites and get around. Still, all that history can't help but be uplifting.
ReplyDeleteThe brickwork is tremendous, nice place to photograph.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! What an interesting place to visit. Thanks for taking us there with your lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous weekend!

An excellent take on the theme. Perhaps one day I will take myself to Athens. Have a great weekend
ReplyDeleteLucky they had English there too. Great photos.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend.
Fantastic photos. I like the idea in the 2nd photo of giving a brief description of the restoration works being done and the problems encountered along the way :-).
ReplyDeleteI also like shooting information. The columns are magnificent Acropolis.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't realized that the Acropolis' buildings were pinkish! In other photos I've seen, they've looked more white! :O
ReplyDeleteinformative signs like these make us appreciate the work done to preserve heritage sites. wonderful photos.
ReplyDeletelooks like earthquake.

ReplyDeleteThank you, for to come in my country!!!
Have a nice weekend!
A good method to gather information too. I do the same, Life Ramblings!
ReplyDeleteWe really enjoyed visiting the Acropolis - we were smart and showed up before the cruise ship crowds arrived. I had a couple of guidebooks but I sure appreciated the informative signs as well.
ReplyDeletebeautiful photos, and angles!
ReplyDeletelove them!
the Parthenon is a great ancient monument!
betty
p.s. i do that, too.
great shots! I do that too.
ReplyDeleteI have not seen the Acropolis from these angles. They make it seem as if I am about to make the climb. I, too, take pictures of signs so I can remember what I saw when I get home.
ReplyDeleteWOW! The Acropolis! I went there when I was 20's. All of your photos are fantastic. It was very hot when I visited the site. Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHeh! I take photos of signs too but only because I am lazy and don't want to take notes!! I love that first photo of the Acropolis, it is a great angle.
