Odeon of Herodes Atticus, a photo from Attiki, Attica

Photographer's Note

The Odeon of Herodes Atticus is a stone theatre structure located on the south slope of the Acropolis of Athens. It was built in 161 AD by the Athenian magnate Herodes Atticus in memory of his wife, Aspasia Annia Regilla. It was originally a steep-sloped amphitheater with a three-story stone front wall and a wooden roof made of expensive, cedar of Lebanon timber. It was used as a venue for music concerts with a capacity of 5,000.

Bonjour Arkadiusz

J'aime beaucoup la diagonale dans l'image qui lui donne de la profondeur et va chercher de beaux effets de lumière sur le mur de pierres.

Amicalement
