Ruins, Delphi, Greece

Shot in Delphi, Greece. I was fortunate that the caretaker of this place (see description below) let me in several hours before it was supposed to open the public. This is a photo of the stone monument mentioned below.

 

Delphi, in legend previously called Pytho (Πυθώ), in ancient times was a sacred precinct that served as the seat of Pythia, the major oracle who was consulted about important decisions throughout the ancient classical world. The oracle was international in character and also fostered sentiments of Greek nationality, even though the nation of Greece was centuries away from realization. The ancient Greeks considered the centre of the world to be in Delphi, marked by the stone monument known as the omphalos (navel).
