2008-10-08bq Theatre of Dionysos

The ancient Athenian theatre dedicated to Dionysos (Bacchus), located on the southern slopes of the Acropolis. This open air theatre was in use in one form or another from the 6th century BC to the 3rd or 4th Century AD, but which was mostly built in stone under the direction of Lycurgus of Athens (a notable statesman and orator), around 330 BC. Behind the theatre, further to the south, lies the (then nearly completed) New Acropolis Museum, which opened in 2009. On the far left (off to the East) lie the ruined columns of the Temple of Temple of Olympian Zeus, which was built over 640 years up to the 2nd century AD, but pillaged and ruined by barbarians in the 3rd century AD.

Composed from multiple shots taken with a Nikon D40, fitted with a Nikkor AFS DX 18-55mm F/3.5-5.6G II lens. These were then merged into a panorama with MS ICE, and processed with Google Picasa, GIMP and Photoscape.
