Photographer's Note
Another POV from the same Temple.
One of the most delightful Doric temples of Greece, the temple of Aphaia is located atop the pine-clad Mesagro hill on the northeast end of the island, and it is encircled by excellent views of the Saronic Gulf and the surrounding area.
Excavations on the site denote the use of the hill as a place of worship since the Bronze Age while the first architectural elements were erected on site in the 7th century BCE.

Hello Vasilis,
An astonishingly beautiful shot of the Temple of Athena, especially seen from the vantage point you've chosen. The "parallel lines" defined by the steps and the lines of Doric capitols all lead off and converge at a pair of vanishing points in the horizon. It's a dramatic demonstration of two-point perspective.
Warm regards,
Bulent

Hello Vasilis,
Even the ruin gives a good impression of the greatness of the temple in its days of glory!
A lovely colour palette where the blue sky makes a fine background...
A well balanced composition with a fine feeling of depth!

Ciao Vasilis,
sono queste le immagini che amo vedere dalla tua terra perchè sono un appassionato di archeologia.
Nella mia Sicilia ci sono tanti resti di testimonianze greche, in particolar modo sul territorio agrigentino dove esiste una valle piena di templi.
Grazie per questa condivisione.
L'immagine è molto bella, sia per POV, ma soprattutto perchè è arricchita da un cielo fantastico.
Well done!

Βασίλη καλημέρα και καλό μήνα,
ήθελα να ήξερα τι παραπάνω έχουν οι καρτ ποστάλ που πουλάνε στα μέρη αυτά.Εξαιρετική παρουσίαση του Ιερού της Αφαίας στην Αίγινα κάτω από αυτό τον ανυπέρβλητο ουρανό.Η τοποθέτησή του στο κάδρο είναι τέλεια.
Σε χαιρετώ,Δάνος

Hi Vasilis!
A great shot!
The way that contrasts enhance the Temple is really admirable, the volumes come with an idea of 3D image, the light management has been very meticulous and very well done, also an impressive image quality and color purity of the textures ... Yes sir ... a great job!
Greetings ...
Manu
