All colour images are also available as black & white prints. The b&w previews offered here are produced by simply desaturating the image via Javascript. The result is a neutral b&w preview which may appear flat or too dark/bright. Before printing, however, each image is individually assessed and adjusted for best contrast, tonal quality, and dynamic range.
Athens
Athens (Modern Greek: Αθήνα, Athina, Ancient Greek: Ἀθῆναι, Athēnai) is the capital of Greece and is considered one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities, with its recorded history spanning around 3,400 years. Classical Athens was a powerful city-state, a centre for the arts, learning and philosophy, home of Plato's Academy and Aristotle's Lyceum. It is widely referred to as the cradle of Western civilization and the birthplace of democracy. Other images from Greece can be found in these albums:
