| Patio plants, Greece |
 |
| One of Greece's famously narrow roads; olive trees forever. |
 |
| Everywhere we went in Greece there were lemon trees, fresh lemonade, too, at small restaurants (tavernas). |
 |
| One of the many fresh water spigots to fill up the water bottles. The green at the bottom has no relation to the fresh water. |
 |
| Every small town in Greece seemed to have a plaza with folks sipping coffee and talking beneath a shady tree. |
 |
| The stadium at Olympia. |
 |
| King Leonidas I; Battle of Thermopylae; trees in background are for decorative purposes; in back of the trees are the battle plain, the super highway, and the rail tracks. I didn't have a wide-angle lens to capture the enormity of the plain. It's just a flat, nothing stretch of land. However, as I think you've figured out, it was this precise nothingness that impressed me the most. All of those men died because armies had nothing to do but fight, and warriors don't pick olives. |
 |
| Greek olive trees, mountains, sea *sigh* |
 |
| Very small part of the magnificent ruins at Delphi |

| Side street, Greece; vegetables for sale; honor system for payment |
