Here is the Parthenon again. We recently went to Centennial Park in Tennessee for the Earth Day Celebration there (before Earth Day.) The park was named for the Tennessee Centennial and International Exposition in 1897. There is a giant statue of Athena inside plus lots of art.

The Parthenon is really pretty, and worth a look.

  1. I wonder how many Parthenon copies there are in the world. This one looks nice!

  2. I did find a partial copy here (it's in Scotland. They started it there but never finished it. http://www.flickr.com/photos/glyn_nelson/4259426534/ and of course the Elgin Marbles are still in England.

    There is some wallpaper of the original in Greece here: http://www.ewallpapers.eu/World/Greece/The-Parthenon.html

    Anyway, that is the only one I could find today. Thanks for visiting!
