An associate, Dr. Hajo Becker, has travelled to Greece just this month and was kind enough to take some pictures of known segments of the 'Mycenaean' wall. [1] In this post I wanted to show a couple of his new pictures of segment Sp (C7769 in my Atlas). First is the image available in Google Earth. The letters alpha and beta key to the corresponding letters in Becker's photos. Dr. Becker's photos were post-processed by me in Photoshop. I will have some more of Dr. Becker's photos in subsequent posts.

This reminds me of Greece: the cyclamen.
