Early Christian Church
The entrance of this cave-church was marked with etchings. Again, the earliest crosses symbolizing Christianity were symmetrical.
Early Christian Church, Goreme, Turkey
Christians, persecuted by the Romans, fled and hid in the caves of the Goreme region. They also established some of the first churches, also in caves. They marked the entrance of the church-caves in various ways. Here the entrance was marked with paint. Note the early crosses, not the same as modern (post 3rd century) crosses.

Accidental Camouflage
I walked past a pond at the Asclepion near Pergamon and heard several splashes. I waited very still a few moments, and out crawled a number of turtles, nearly invisible, covered with the pond algae.

The Trajaneum, the sanctuary of the Temple of Trajan, was built in the 2nd century AD on the west-facing slope, which was made level by the construction of a terrace supported by this row of eleven arched tunnels.

Delphi Theater
The Delphi Theater and the Parthenon Museum, seen from the Parthenon. You can see the significant shift in the top floor of the museum so that it perfectly parallels the Parthenon itself. The museum was built to demonstrate to the British Museum curators that Greece had an adequate place in which to house the Parthenon ruins that were removed from Greece by Lord Thomas Elgin in the first decade of the 19th century. They continue to negotiate for their return.
