About In 1892 it was decided to make an artificial lake in Marathon. The proposal to start works was made in 1926. The state of Greece and the company Oylen (British) made an agreement to manufacture a lake that would give water in the capital. The works began in October 1926 and finished after 3 years. In May 1931 the dam, the driver, the refineries had been manufactured and for first time on 3 June Athens took water from the lake. . The dam is from concrete and it is entirely covered by (Penteliko) marble from the mountain of Penteli, fact that lends to it uniqueness in world level.
The dam has width in the base of the 47 m. and ability to keep up to 44 millions cubic metres water. With the dam of Marathon we resolved to a point the problem of water supply of Athens. Later however, with the continuous growth of the city, the quantity of water of the artificial lake was not enough for the water supply of capital. Works of water supply by the lake Yliki took place , but again the problem of water supply was not solved. Then the solution for supply from Mornos was proposed. Thus in the past few years the dam of Mornos was manufactured near to Lidoriki of Fokida and supplied Athens with water.

I love triptychs, and this is a pretty good one, Marian. My only complaint is that the contrast is a bit too high..

very best,
Avi

Excellent placement of the three images. The central image holds the eye, with the leading lines of the wall and the road. The other two images hold it in - just like the dam is holding in the water: that's quite a photographic metaphor you've put together!

Excellent shot, I like the composition between the 3 photos as you include to all the main shape of the water dam, the curve... nice idea to put the 3 sides of the dam, looks good in greyscale!
