In my previous post, I posted a picture of Temple of Olympian Zeus with the Acropolis in the background.
This is the same picture, but taken from the top of the Acropolis. It gives you a much better idea of the scale of the temple.

Lois and I (quite literally) stumbled upon this temple while walking from the Olympic Stadium to the Acropolis. The Temple of Olympian Zeus in Athens was build around 6 century BC.
If you look in the far distance, you can just make out the Acropolis on the left of the main columns.
This lovely little church is right at the end of the quay in the Port of Aegina. The walls are covered in lovely paintings of St Nicholas (the patron saint of sailers). The paintings are not in the best condition – I am sure being so close to the water does not help, but the colours are wonderful, and you are welcome to take your time to wonder around and look at the artwork.
It is really small, so it won’t take very long. Worth visiting.

The lovely artwork inside the church
The ceiling of St. Mary’s Basilica on Krakow Square, Poland. I love the intricate detail and workmanship that went into building the lovely church.
The main staircase going into the auditorium of the Opera House. It is a beautiful old building.
The bathrooms in one of the prison blocks on Robben Island.
Charles Bridge, Prague at night with the beautiful castle and cathedral in the background.
Detail of the ceiling of St Nicholas Church in Prague. The Chrurch looks like nothing from outside, but it is astonishingly beautiful from the inside.
The ceiling of the Municipal Hall in Prague. The acoustics in this room are amazing.
The Torture room at Prague Castle. Yes there is one in every city, but still kind of fun to shoot (in a strangely morbid way).
