In Ancient Olympia (2)

Olympia a sanctuary of ancient Greece in Elis on the Peloponnese peninsula, is known for having been the site of the Olympic Games in classical times. The Olympic Games were held every four years throughout Classical Antiquity, from the 8th century BC to the 4th century AD.[2] The first Olympic Games were in honor of Zeus.

absolutely magnificent how intricate and beautifully these old pillars were constructed and your pic in b/w do total justice to this art. I don't begrudge you but I really am envious of all the exciting places you are visiting, looking forward to "accompanying" you on your travels, cathy

Da sind die antiken Stücke fein aufgereiht...
Ordnung muss sein, haben wir gelernt

Meine ersten die ich in der Türkei sah lagen damals in
1978 unscheinbar auf einer Tankstelle.
Das hat sich sicher geändert.

Greetings Michael

Superb close up of one of those columns that bears all the signs of a magnificent and so complicated sculptural work.
best regards alexander

Die Perspektive und der Ausschnitt führen das Auge und vor allem die Fantasie mitten in die griechische Antike. Da machst Du mir große Lust wieder einmal auf den Πελοπόννησος zu reisen, wo ich immer wieder einen Hauch dieser großartigen Vergangenheit gespürt habe.

A beautiful shot of Corinthian capitals.
Even after all these centuries retain their big bundle.
Ciao, Emilio

....super nice monochrome image of the Ancient Greek capitals, very good light and the detail is excellent, well seen and documented with this photo and information, just to touch something that a craftsman carved so long ago would be such an honor......
Thanks,
...den
