Album Info:

Featured in Scenic Destinations Album 5/2/08 ... Also: Featured Photo 6/24/08, Entertainment, Photog Experiments! The Temple of Poseidon was constructed in the Doric style in the 5th century B.C., on the site of previous temples. In Ancient Greece, Poseidon, god of the sea, was pictured as an older man with a beard, generally carrying a trident (3-pronged spear), seashells and other marine life. He was credited with the creation of all sea life as well as of horses (zebras, too... one of his earlier efforts). Additionally, Poseidon was believed to be the force behind earthquakes.

  • It's so clear and sharp and it's everything I look for in a good foto. Doric columns are so beautiful in their simplicity, I can see why the Greeks preferred them to any of the other capitals. Isn't it sad that it is just a ruin now? But still incredibley lovely. Thanx, too, for the info, it makes it so much more meaningful.
