This is a nice point of view. It presents Athens below have a quaint, small town, sort of feel. It's totally different from the sprawling city of Athens beyond. So this gives it a totally different look. The acropolis soars powerfully above this, also, giving a nice look to it. A contrast between power and tranquil streets. It might have been better to not zoom in as much so you could have had more of the path at the bottom. Having it lead up to the cliff would have been more engaging, I think. But a nice view still.
