Photographer's Note
When walking around Athens, you shouldn't miss Panepistimiou ("Πανεπιστημίου", in greek, it means "University") Street, one of the most beautiful streets of the Greek Capital. There you will some some very impressive Neoclassical buildings, the Academy of Athens, the National Library and the University of Athens, known as the "Neoclassical Trilogy"". Here you can have a diagonal view of the Academy of Athens, with the statues of Athena and Apollo, on top.
If you want to read more about the "Neoclassical Trilogy", ***CHECK HERE***

Hello Hercules,
This photo of classic architecture amidst the greenery has been taken from a good point of view to include two almost twin buildings. Good structure despite the strong lighjt, all under a smarvellous sky.

Une bonne prise de ces superbes bβtiments. Inutile de regarder dans quel pays ils sont situιs, leur architecture nous laisse deviner.
Merci pour le partage et bonne journιe.

Howdy Hercules,
I do not think I have ever seen these marvelous neoclassical buildings, appearing to be much older because of the ancient architecture style.
Well done with angle view instead of front-on, all in fine depth and detail, cheers,
Ray

Hercules,
This is a nicely composed shot! The angle of the shot is great giving the shot a sense of direction. The lighting and colors are great and the photo has fine sharpness. The deep blue polarized sky proivdes nice contrast for the buildings.
TFS,

Τελικά, φίλε μου .... όσο απομακρύνεσαι από το σήμερα, τόσο πιο όμορφα αισθάνεσαι!
Η τέχνη, η ποίηση, οι ιδανικές αναλογίες να κυριαρχούν σχεδόν παντού, δεν σου δίνουν περιθώρια να στρέψεις το “βλέμμα” σου αλλού παρά μόνο εκεί! Έτσι μονάχα ηρεμείς και προχωράς!
Το αγνό, το αμόλυντο θα είναι πάντα σε πρώτη ζήτηση.
Στην πόλη που ζούμε υπάρχουν απομεινάρια κάλλους, μετρημένα στα δάχτυλα βέβαια, αλλά υπάρχουν! Υπάρχουν και κάποιοι βέβαια που τα κακοποιούν, κάνοντάς μας να ντρεπόμαστε.
Όσο πιο δυνατή διατηρείται η ροή του ποταμού, τόσο πιο δύσκολα θα μπορέσει κάποιος να τον περάσει.

Γεια σου αγαπητέ Ηρακλή
The absence of any human figure, this great view between the buildings and the nature reminds me the greek antich era. Without this greek flag we can assume this picture from a Sofocles or aristo era. Great composition and fantastic light Bravo filie mou.Με τη φιλία. ihsan

Hello Hercules,
un POV spettacolare da un luogo che sebbene non ho ancora avuto piacere di visitare, ha sempre subito il mio fascino e sono felice che in Sicilia, (terra dove sono nato e dove vivo), ci sono tante testimonianze di questo popolo.
Eccellente luce, nitidezza e resa cromatica.
Complimenti e TFS!

Hi Hercules
I really like this tpye of photo, the postcard type of architecture...some people don't like it, but i do!
this photo is well defined by its 3 layers. the greenery, the structure, and the blue sky.
very clear, sharp, and well lit but the sun. elegant, with a strong stance.
well done
Cheers

Good Morning Hercules,
This is a stunning shot, both for its sharp exposure and its most interesting subject.
The angled view works well, giving a good sense of perspective and addressing the rule of thirds, horizontally and vertically.
The light looks strong but you have controlled it well.
As I look out of my window on a rainy day, where the wind has been whipping the trees and causing all kinds of damage, your scene looks so appealing!
My warm regards,
Bev :-)
