About the Background
Facing southeast, this view of the Parthenon was photographed on Aug 26, 1978, more than 2,400 years after it was built. Today the view is somewhat obstructed by scaffolding as it continues to be restored. Photo by Steve Swayne [CC BY 2.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0)]
