Not the most thrilling pictures, or even great quality, but I just wanted to capture how this small Greek Orthodox church built 1000 years ago has been preserved and built over by the modern sprawl that is Athens, Greece.

Love it Brook! How nice that someone built around it instead of destroying it! :)
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful is that? It's amazing that they built around it like that, not many places would.
ReplyDeleteThat is so beautiful! So lovely they have built around it x
ReplyDeleteIt does look dainty compared to its surroundings. I'm so glad it was preserved.
ReplyDeleteLove this photo - preserving something old in amongst the modern buildings - it looks like the modern buildings are sheltering it.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo! Hopefully I can find the church when I visit Athens next year.
ReplyDeleteAww its so quaint! A great subjedct =) #mysundayphoto
