18/2014 Agrigento: The Temple of Hera

Agrigento has one of Sicily top sights: the amazingly preserved 5th century BC Greek Temples in a large archaeological park called "The Valley of the Temples", a series of 5th-century BC Doric wonders surrounded by olive and almond trees just below the city on the long slope toward the nearby coast.

When I was taking pictures of the Temple of Concord, which is the best preserved Greek temple outside of Athens itself, I turned around and saw these beautifully illuminated clouds over the Temple of Hera.
