The Parthenon Nashville TN

Reproduction of The Parthenon in Greece, found in Nashville, TN. It was originally built in 1897 for Tennessee's Centennial.
Inside, this statue of Athena, sculpted by Alan LeQuire, was unveiled in 1990, stands 41'10" tall, holds a 6'4" statue of Nike in her right hand, and is covered with 23.75 carat gold leaf. She is magnificent!

Great photos! I have never even heard of this! Might
be worth a trip to TN just to see it. Thanks for the
pics and info. :-)

Fascinating gallery for someone who lives in Athens, Greece, especially the ones of Athena. I also have a UZI. Do you use a polarizer or increase contrast to get the depth of color in your flower photos?
Best regards
