Wow, Phil... this one is absolutely breathtaking!
I spent like 5 minutes looking at every detail, enjoying the aged stones,
the details, the transparent waters and the colors of the fallen tree and
the rocks... there is so much detail to look at...
Be honest. Do you have some kind of arrangement with places and
landscapes, to be at their best when you came to take a photo ?
Look at that SKY! It is black and menacing, thunders must have been
heard by you while you were there... there was a huge storm approaching!
And still, the sun was your ally to provide the temple with the beautiful
light that enhances the warmth of their shapes...
Really.... this is a stunning shot. I take off my hat and bow !!
Smiles,
M.

The truth is that in Italy (especially Sicily and regions which were former the Greek colonies) and Asia minor (once again the Greek colonies) one can find more Greek monuments than in ĪĪÎģÎĩΚĪ in "main" Greece.

Yeah.
Totally right.
The reasons are so many.
2500 years full of history at first

Hey Justyna...yes i know, it was a rather tongue in cheek comment....the greeks were around building great temples before the romans...but they did invent drainage so cant take it all away from them

Yeah, sorry, when I see something Greek or Roman, the classic philologist awakes in me

Yes, of course, I was joking... These studies are interesting but they also take a lot of time.
