abc wednesday - A is for "ancient"



And also for Athens and Acropolis, where
I took this shot a long time ago—using
Kodachrome (speaking of ancient), a
kind of film you can't even buy anymore
(sorry about that, Paul and Art).

[You'll find lots more for "A" here—where
ABC Wednesday is starting its 4th year!]

  2. Ah, Kodachrome....and Ilford...and.... One day I must organize my slides and negatives. When I was at the Acropolis a number of years back, it was so hot that I almost fainted. Fortunately, there was a fountain up there where people could fill their water bottles, so I stuck my head under the faucet...

  3. Great view, quite a long job to digitize all pictures and slides, I haven't found the energy to do it yet !!!

  4. Ancient in both ways ~ well done! It has a kind of hand-coloured look about it.

  6. How unique a word choice for "A" and you still have the Ancient photo of many moons ago using the Ancient Kodachrome. ; ) I liked your "A" choice today.

  10. Love the gradations in the blue-to-pink sky; and the brighter pink parthenon (taken at dawn—the rosy fingered?). Great link, too. Thanks.

    (I think I need a new search engine. I tried to look up information about the culture from which your photo arises but all I got were lyrics like this:
    Summer lovin ', μου είχε ένα ωστικό κύμα
    Summer lovin ', συνέβη τόσο γρήγορα

    I guess “Grease” in Greek is a kind of Greece, but I don’t know. I think I need a new search engine...).

  11. Kodachrome reminded me of Paul Simon! I used to use it all the time. I miss film but am getting used to digital. Great shot!
