From the photograph, you would likely get a sense of the way the light hits the Parthenon. While the text mentions the Parthenon catching the first light of the morning, a photograph can visually capture the interplay of light and shadow on the temple, highlighting its architectural features and giving a sense of its grandeur and beauty at that specific time of day. The photograph can convey the mood and atmosphere created by the light in a way that text alone cannot.
The temple is called the Parthenon (11), and the horse was part of a group of figures made especially for its east pediment, a large stone triangle fitted just under the roof. The Parthenon, high on a hill, catches the first light of the morning.
