Poseidon Temple, Sounio, a photo from Attiki, Attica

Photographer's Note

Poseidon Temple, Sounion Cape.
Some yellow margaritas has found the way through ancient marbles...

The temple that we see today was built in 444 BCE and stands on the site of an older temple. An Ionic frieze, made from 13 slabs of Parian marble, is located on the east side of the temple's main approach path. The frieze is very eroded, but is known to have depicted the mythological battle of the Lapiths and Centaurs, the Gigantomachia, and the adventures of the hero Theseus who was said in some legends to be the son of Poseidon.

Μινιμαλιστική σύνθεση!

Στην αρχή πίστεψα ότι το θέμα σου ήταν η χάραξη των μαρμάρων. Αλλού το πήγαινες .... καλά έκανες, ήταν πιο αγνές οι προθέσεις σου!

Ας κάνουμε τα στραβά μάτια κι ας αφεθούμε στην ομορφιά που ήθελες να αναδείξεις!

Να είσαι καλά!

Ciao Sofia
una bella composizione, le forme dei marmi sono ben posizionate nella foto ed il cielo che si vede � molto bello.
I fiori danno colore all'insieme.
Buona giornata
Carlo
