From the series – The side window
Although not quite at the same majestic scale as the rest of the series, this is detail from one of the building sides.
The Kallimarmaron (Καλλιμάρμαρο, i.e. the “beautifully marbled”), also known as the Panathinaiko or Panathenaic Stadium (Greek: Παναθηναϊκό στάδιο) in Athens is the only major stadium in the world built entirely of white marble, which was excavated from Mount Penteli.
For more information about the stadium, click on one of the other pictures in the series:

My grandfather was a serious amateur photographer in the ’20s and ’30s, leaving me a legacy of stereoscopic pictures and equipment. The bug passed through the genes to my father and to me. I started taking pictures seriously when I was 11 and I spent most of my teenage years in and out of the darkroom. University, work and kids put photography on pause but my first digital camera in 2006 re-kindled my interest. RB has given me a vehicle for sharing my work and for learning so much.
