The Portara (temple of Apollo) and the Chora ("capital") of Naxos island in the background. Cyclades, Greece. The Portara or the “Great Door” is essentially a massive marble doorway, leading to nowhere. It lies close to the port of Naxos on the islet of Palatia which was once a hill. A strip of land connected the north of the port of Naxos to Palatia in ancient times. Today, the strip of land has been replaced by a causeway. Myth has it that the islet of Palatia was exactly where Ariadne, the Minoan princess was abandoned by her lover, Theseus after he killed Minotaur on the island of Crete. Around the year 530 B.C when Naxos was at its peak of glory, the then ruler, Lygdamis wanted to build the highest and most magnificent buildin...

The Athenian Acropolis with the Parthenon. Taken first thing in the morning, with nobody but a cat around.

So what is this? The image depicts just one of the many, many screens that line the galleries surrounding the tiers in Angkor Wat. The screens allow light to enter the galleries during the day. These screens are essentially identical, the only real difference being whether they were intact or not. In some of the screens, one or more of the pillars were missing, but this one is intact. The pillars in each screen must have been turned on a lathe in order to create such perfectly formed spindles, both within each screen and from screen to screen. It is remarkable that such delicate structures could have survived for nine hundred years. Angkor Wat is not just a remarkable tourist destination, it is an architectural wonder.

On the southern edge of Attica, on a beautiful location, in Cape Sounion, you can see one of the most impressive ancient temples of Greece (approx. 440 B.C.), the one dedicated to Poseidon, the moody and usually angry, God of Sea, in the Greek Mythology. This is the place where, Aegeus, king of Athens, jumped off the cliff and died, when he saw his son's (Theseus) ship returning with black sails (a sign that his son had died in his battle with Minotaur, allthough it was not true), giving name to the Aegean Sea. There is a reference of Sounio, in one of the poems ("Don Juan")by famous romantic poet, Lord Byron. "Place me on Sunium's marbled steep, Where nothing, save the waves and I, May hear our mutual murmurs sweep..."

A hidden realm of wonder and mystery lies deep within the earth. An ancient sanctuary, once sacred to a long-forgotten civilization, now lies abandoned and overgrown. The stone shrine is surrounded with greenery, and the floor is carpeted with soft moss. The only light comes from the narrow opening above, where rays of sunshine pierce the darkness and illuminate the majestic scene.
