2008-10-08bl Lykavittos Hill

The tallest hill in Athens, as seen from the Parthenon. Despite the prominence, it has little mention in Athenian history. The name is thought to either be derived from "Mountain of the Wolves" or from the words for sunrise and sunset, as the hill is always the first and last place in Athens to see sunlight. Atop the hill there sits an open-air theatre and a Chapel to St George (built in the 19th Century).

Taken from the Acropolis with my Nikon D40, fitted with a Tamron 70-300mm F4/5.6 DI LD (Nikon AFS) lens, and processed in GIMP and Photoscape.
