May 16, 2010 – Photos from Athens (and Istanbul)

May 16th, 2010 · No Comments

The view of the Acropolis from the rooftop terrace (bar) of our hotel. What a sight!

 

It is Istanbul in May. Must mean it is time to take the kids to the museum - just like when I was there two years ago! Two years ago I got kidded about making friends via a camera. This time, it was Sally's turn to find out how a camera can bridge all cultures!

The Acropolis in Athens. Notice the white marble - these are pieces inserted as a part of restoration efforts. Quarried from the same quarry as the original materials, one can only imagine what the Acropolis looked like new!

A perfect evening in Istanbul, relaxing with a view of the Hague Sophia.

Bridging cultural divides with a camera.  Offer to
take someone’s photo with their camera, and all
of a sudden, you are best friends!
