Athens, Greece: Land of Rocks and Cats

Photographs from my trip to Athens, Greece. View pictures of the Acropolis, the Parthenon, and several pictures of cats.

It's hard to absorb the significance of Athens. We can try to connect the centuries between modern day and the B.C. dates, but it's a giant gap spanned only by an instant of imagination.

Most of the world is this way, really. Everything's the same age; some of it was just put together a while ago. Our small brains can attempt to appreciate the vastness, but achieve little more than a concentrated thought: OLD.

Oh well. There are always cats to make the unimaginative times more entertaining.
