Renaissance now
(To make room for new development plans of the city of Shanghai, China, an old house is being demolished. The background shows the skyline of Pudong CBD, with the highest building and TV tower in China. Residents of such houses are usually relocated farther away from downtown, due to rocketing housing costs. The price of new apartments built in this location is typically over 30,000 Yuan (roughly 4300 USD) per square meter. (2005))

In the background rest the little islands of the Saronic gulf, quiet reminders of Antiquity.

Hand of the universe
(The granite statue of Tycho Brahe stands in silence on the island of Ven, guarding the ruins of his 16th century observatory Uranienborg. Here, Brahe made detailed astronomical measurements, experimented with alchemy and supposedly kept a tame elk. The focus of the statue is Brahe’s hand, which carrying a nobleman’s ring, clutches a sextant.
Location: The island of Ven, Denmark.)

In the Lee of Parnassos
(The Temple of Apollo at Delphi was the most important oracular site of classical antiquity. Enclosed by a set of cliffs partway up Mount Parnassos, the site overlooks a fertile valley of olive groves. From here the Pythia would dispense prophetic oracles to hopeful pilgrims, either in inscrutable hexametric riddle, or in frenzied, incoherent ecstasy.)

Roots of Wisdom
(The Oracle of Zeus at Dodona was the oldest oracular site in the Hellenic world. At its center was the sacred oak tree, which would communicate its messages via the breezes rustling through its leaves, interpreted for the pilgrim by the caretaker-priests. While waiting to receive their prophecies, travellers could entertain themselves at the theatre, at the top of which modern caretakers have allowed this young tree to take root.)

Life at Death’s Door
(The Nekromanteion in northern Greece is the site of an ancient oracle of the dead. Homer sings of how here at this place, on the shores of the river Acheron, Odysseus consulted the ghost of the blind prophet Teiresias. This wildflower was growing just outside the entrance to the gate to the underworld.)
