This composite image has, as a background, the coastline of Hana, Maui, an area known mostly to locals as Red Sand Beach Cove, at sunrise. The Statue of Dionysus is from the British Museum and was originally from the east pediment of the Parthenon. The same day I actually saw and got to phototgraph the statue in London, I had a dream about it, which I don’t recall at all, except it was something about Hawaii and the Dionysus figure. Perhaps it was something like this…

Gryphon (or Griffin) / In ancient times it was considered the protector of the divine. The creature was seen in civilisations as early as the Minoan civilisation (2700BC to 1450 BC). / This is on the roof of the Nashville Parthenon. / Nashville’s Parthenon was the centerpiece of the 1897 Tennessee Centennial Exposition fair. A number of buildings at the Exposition were based on ancient originals. However, the Parthenon was the only one to have been conceived as an exact reproduction of the Athens Parthenon. It was also the only one to have been preserved by the city. (The Knights of Pythias building was purchased and moved to nearby Franklin, TN.) / Originally built of plaster, wood, and brick, the Parthenon was rebuilt in the 1920s on the same foundations, but with concrete. / Today, the Parthenon, functions as an art museum.

by yanmosno markup amount for this design / The sculptures were seized at a period in time when the strong had the power of life and death over the weak. Now that time is gone. Now we serve other moral values and I believe that it is our moral duty to bring those treasures back to their homeland.

The Parthenon (Ancient Greek: Παρθενών) is a temple of the Greek goddess Athena whom the people of Athens considered their protector. It was built in the 5th century BC on the Athenian Acropolis in Athens, Greece. It is the most important surviving building of Classical Greece, generally considered to be the culmination of the development of the Doric order. Its decorative sculptures are considered one of the high points of Greek art. The Parthenon is regarded as an enduring symbol of ancient Greece and of Athenian democracy, and one of the world’s greatest cultural monuments. The Greek Ministry of Culture is currently carrying out a program of restoration and reconstruction. The Parthenon replaced an older temple of Athena, which historians call the Pre-Parthenon or Older Parthenon, that was destroyed in the Persian invasion of 480 BC. Like most Greek temples, the Parthenon was used as a treasury, and for a time served as the treasury of the Delian League, which later became the Athenian Empire. In the 6th century AD, the Parthenon was converted into a Christian church dedicated to the Virgin Mary. After the Ottoman Turk conquest, it was converted into a mosque in the early 1460s, and it had a minaret built in it. On 26 September 1687 an Ottoman Turk ammunition dump inside the building was ignited by Venetian bombardment. The resulting explosion severely damaged the Parthenon and its sculptures. In 1806, Thomas Bruce, 7th Earl of Elgin removed some of the surviving sculptures, with Ottoman Turk permission. These sculptures, now known as the Elgin Marbles or the Parthenon Marbles, were sold in 1816 to the British Museum in London, where they are now displayed. The Greek government is committed to the return of the sculptures to Greece, so far with no success. Information supplied by Wikipedia. Single RAW image Tonemapped in Photomatix Pro 3.2.
