In this photo taken Sunday, Sept. 5, 2010, the elegant marble temple of Athena Nike, distinguished by its four Ionic columns, is lit by the sun as the Propylaea gate is seen on the left and the Parthenon temple in the shade on the right, on the Athens Acropolis. A ten-year restoration project has just been completed on the 2,400-year-old temple, which was dismantled to ground level and rebuilt to correct damage from ground subsidence and rusting internal joints.
