Feeling relaxed in Greece. Even managed to stay on the right side of the road. ;)
Temple of Athena Sounio
April 8, 2023 in Greece ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
There was something so moving about this site. In lots of ways. No one was there, the gate was a little ajar and as you can see the place is unkempt.
Still stunning in its own way.

From Eleusis to Corinth…

We think of Ancient times as lacking
And while I am happy standing here looking back
There is much more to it than that.
