2008-10-08ce Church Ceiling

The fresco on the dome of the Church of the Holy Apostles, in the gardens of the Agora, and underneath the hill of the Acropolis, in Athens.

Standing at around a thousand years old, the domed church is built in the Athenian style, marrying both Western and Byzantine architecture. The frescoes date from around the 17th century.

Taken with a Nikon D40, fitted with a Nikkor AFS DX 18-55mm F/3.5-5.6G II lens, processed with Google Picasa, GIMP and Photoscape.
