The Ideal of Beauty

    Parthenon - Athens - Greece

    LARGE

    Under the last beams of a setting sun, the Parthenon looks just incredible, a monument 25 centuries old, the Ideal of Beauty, the peak of the esthetical achievements of a great civilization.

    Bajo los últimos rayos del sol que se pone, el Partenón parece irreal, un monumento de 25 siglos, un Ideal de la Belleza, el auge de los logros estéticos de una gran civilización.
