Greek ruins
Archaelogical site of Nemea - Greece - Temple of Zeus ca. 330 BC.
“Greek ruins have an extraordinarily large constituency. They are of interest to archaeologists, architects, poets, lovers, historians, artists, painters, builders, scientists, scholars and of course photographers. For most observers ruins are a static thing, unchanging relics from a prior civilization. But for a photographer (or painter) ruins are wildly in motion as the sun moves across the sky, as clouds alter the display of light on irregular surfaces, as the sun´s course every day of the year, and as surrounding vegetation blossoms and dries”.
