"With reflections, you become too soon a genius," said the great photographer Ernst Haas. Do you think it might also work with the sky at top cropped off altogether? --Stefan

Marvellous juxtaposition I love to see old and new together like this. It gives a real sense of continuity - that life moves on but the past is not forgotten.

In London there is often great opposition to adding very modern structures to expand/extend older buildings (like the British Museum) yet If we kept only the old architecture and styles at the expense of the new, then we would become stagnant. I guess that the Parthenon once reflected the latest in architectural style.
