Professor Bakewell took this impressive photograph of the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion near Athens.
Prof. Bakewell again, showing the Greek island of Poros at dusk. Poros has not only ancient ruins but also wonderful little tavernas and is a source of excellent pistachio nuts.
Prof. Bakewell offering a moody shot of the Athenian Agora under a passing cloud. The shot is from the Acropolis.
Prof. Bakewell took this shot of the Areopagus Hill in Athens, on the shoulder of the Acropolis. Not only did an important Athenian Council meet here, but St. Paul famously addressed this council on this very eminence.
Professor Bucher took this suggestive shot of the Villa Cheraviglio where he lived on the top floor in 1993-94 in Rome. The faded colors of the building are typical of older Roman palazzi.
Prof. Bucher contributes this image of the Temple of Hercules in the tiny Italian mountain town of Cori at dusk. The tower is the campanile of an adjacent Catholic church.
Prof. Bucher noticed that he had taken a photograph of the so-called basilica at Paestum from almost the same angle as it had been depicted by Gian Battista Piranesi in the late 18th century.
Prof. Bucher offers this shot of the fifth-century BC Doric temple at Segesta in Sicily. In March (when this photo was taken) Sicily is a paradise of wildflowers and verdant greenery.
Professor Clark here modestly models the pose of the famous Cretan Snake Goddess while visiting Messene.
Prof. Clark provides scale for a monument at the beautiful Athenian cemetary at the Ceramicus. Check out the fantastic detail of the sculpted hound.
Those who visit Greece quickly find that between museums there is time for relaxation, as we see Prof. Clark and some comrades doing here on a beach of the southwestern Peloponnese.
The Peloponnese is dotted with romantic ruins such as this tholos (beehive-shaped) tomb in the south. We see Prof. Clark and her comrades in the Pylos Regional Archeological Survey here.
Professor Habash saw the beauty in these ships of the desert and photographed them near Petra in Jordan.
This Roman-era nymphaeum in Eastern Turkey sits in a beautiful valley. Prof. Habash photographed it while on an American School tour in 1994.
Prof. Habash has trodden in the footsteps of Indiana Jones in walking this incredibly romantic gorge en route to the tombs in Petra.
And here we see one of the fantastic tombs which suddenly appear in the middle of the desert gorges of Petra: Prof. Habash took this shot.
In Damascus in Syria Prof. Habash took this shot of an Ottoman Mosque and her husband Burhan.
Prof. Habash has captured the looming citadel of Acrocorinth on the site of the excavations at which she worked in 1994.
Here is Prof. Habash at the trench she supervised in Corinth with her workers in 1994.
Prof. Stephens took this photo of some feral cats living in the high-rent district in Athens--the Acropolis!
The Erechtheum is arguably the finest building in Athens, and here Prof. Stephens treats us to a view of the Porch of the Maidens under a beautiful Mediterranean blue sky.
Prof. Stephens' photo of the (rebuilt) Stoa of Attalus in the Athenian Agora emphasizes its stately colonnades and the dramatic potential of post and beam construction.
This beautiful photograph of a Rhodian castle was taken by Prof. Stephens while visiting that island to give a scholarly paper in 1992.
We see Prof. Stephens himself in this moody sunset shot from Lindos in Rhodes.
This wonderful little Rhodian church captured by Prof. Stephens is divided between Greek Orthodox and Catholic worship. The Maltese Cross on the campanile is an added bonus!
Prof. Bakewell took this great photo of the little bridge over the stream at Levadia in Boeotia in Greece. Boeotia is inhospitably hot and dry in the summer (think S. Central California, near Arvin), yet the traveler follows the road up the hillside and suddenly discovers this shady little glen filled with fresh, cool air. It is no wonder the Greeks found these places to be numinous.
