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! |
