What's monumental about the place, is that it's the venue where the first modern Olympic Games were held, back in 1896 (i.e., just a short while ago!) (5 years and 3690 days ago)

like the angle.........a little contrast would have made it a stronger image..
Tks, adein. It's a long story with this one; had a group of Japanese tourists standing in front of me, so I used what little of their language I knew back from my days as a seaman, upon which they were more then happy to oblige by getting the heck out of the way. Nice people, and I mean it.
