  • A man stands sheltering from April rain under his umbrella near and a pseudo-artistic plant stand feature in central London. The splash of colour and nature looks incongruous and eccentric on this central London street near Trafalgar Square and seasonal rain is falling on the capital's pavements.

  • Fake classical Greek statues stand outside a night club in Nafplio, a former Byzantines, Frank, Venetian, and Ottoman coastal Peloponnese port town of 14,000 on the Argolic Gulf. The walls of this modern building seen near wasteland on the outskirts of town are made to look authentic but result in a false tourist style. There are three pieces of fake art that stand on well-watered grass: One of a nude Greek Goddess, a miniature lion in the middle and nearest the viewer is a naked figure of a man - muscular and classically posed as a heroic and mythical figure. Nafplio was also the first capital of independent Greece which was  destroyed in the 7th Century for its alliance with Sparta. This contemporary landscape is therefore bears no resemblance to its heritage.

  • White plaster or cement Goddess statuettes stand on sale on the forecourt of a garden art business in an Athens suberb, Marathonas Avenue - the original Marathon route of 490 BC. The mostly female figurines are in various poses but are all nudes and are in various gestures of a classical heroic style. Those in the foreground have their arms at the heads and moulded breasts and bodies to show the perfect female form while further to the back are male Gods placed on plinths and in recesses. The 29th modern Olympic circus came home to Greece in 2004 and the birthplace of athletics and the Olympic ideal, amid the woodland of ancient Olympia where for 1,100 continuous years, the ancients held their pagan festival of sport and debauchery.

  • Standing in the corner of a brightly sun-lit window, a classical reproduction bust is seen in a hotel foyer in the modern town of Olympia, the birthplace of athletics and the Olympic ideal. Amid the woodland of ancient Olympia where for 1,100 continuous years, the ancients held their pagan festival of sport and debauchery. The modern games share many characteristics with its ancient counterpart. Corruption, politics and cheating interfered then as it does now and the 2004 Athens Olympiad echoed both what was great and horrid about the past.
