Parthenon West Facade.jpg

The early morning light on the West Facade made the cellla walls within seem to glow.
The scaffolding with workers on it, adds a sense of scale to the immense structure.
Refinements such as "entasis" (or the subtle central bulging of the columns) are one of several enhancements
created by the architects Iktinos and Kallicrates between 447-438 BC, to gilve the Parthenon its perfect proportions..
