Hadrian's Arch & The Temple of Olympian Zeus

Walking along in Athens. . . I see this cat, sitting in a tree.
It started meowing at me, so I thought it was worthy of a photo. This is Hadrian's Arch, the symbolic gate of the city.


Here I am in front of the Temple of Olympian Zeus.
16 of the original 104 columns remain. . . not bad for 131 AD





From the Temple, you can see the Acropolis in the distance.
