Olympia

Olympia, Elia, Peloponnisos

little remains of the complex of buildings that once stood at this site...when the Romans made Christianity the official religion, the temples of Ancient Olympia were destroyed as they were considered to be pagan...earthquakes subsequently brought down other public buildings and houses

The ancient weathered stone still standing is a testament to the ancient craftsman. Our modern infrastructure has to be repaired every thirty years. V

The remains are impressive. Very well composed to show the details of one column and the group in the background. "V"

This is amazing to think about how long this has been standing! Great capture. V

This is ancient ground you are standing on, for sure. The single column juxtaposed against the colonnade in the background makes an excellent composition, and shows the weathered texture of the fore column. V
