A panorama of the cliffside home to multiple waterfalls including Seljalandsfoss (the one to the far right). These cliffs used to be the former coastline. After looking online for a while I couldn't find the names of the other waterfalls pictured here nor the name of cliffs themselves. The waterfall to the far left might be Gljúfurárfoss, but I am not 100% certain. If you know more information, please educate me! :)

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated.

Glanum (Hellenistic Γλανόν, as well as Glano, Calum, Clano, Clanum, Glanu, Glano) was an oppidum, or fortified town in present day Provence, founded by a Celto-Ligurian people called the Salyens in the 6th century BCE.
It became officially a Roman city in 27 BCE and was abandoned in 260 AD.

Ancient Witnesses
As the stars rise, the stone remains — quiet, enduring, timeless.
These formations have watched the passage of millennia in silence, bearing witness to the slow arc of the cosmos above. I often wonder what stories they’d tell if they could speak — stories of fire, wind, and water… of creatures long gone… and now, of a lone photographer beneath their gaze.
Captured under a moonless sky, this is one of those nights where everything aligns — the air still, the Milky Way rising, and the sense that you’re standing in a place where time barely matters.
I return to these places not just to photograph them, but to feel something deeper — the connection between earth and sky, between the ancient and the now.

This probably is one of the most photographed trees in the world. Therefore, this is far from a unique composition, but some scenes are so epic that you just have to try your hand on them. I hope that my version does this ancient beauty justice!

Up on a hill just outside the site of the ancient city of Segesta lies an unusually well preserved Greek Doric temple.
It is thought to have been built in the 420's BC by an Athenian architect and has six by fourteen columns on a base measuring 21 by 56 meters, on a platform three steps high.
Several elements suggest that the temple was never actually finished.
The columns have not been fluted as they normally would have been in a Doric temple and there are still tabs present in the blocks of the base (used for lifting the blocks into place but then normally removed). It also lacks a cella and was never roofed over.
The temple is also unusual as the city not mainly populated by Greeks.
It can also be noted that this temple lacks any painted or sculptured ornamentation, altar, and deity dedication.
This temple escaped destruction by the Carthaginians in the late 5th century.

TEMPLO DE SEGESTA, detalles.
El templo dórico períptero (rodeado de columnas) y hexástilo (con seis columnas en el frente) inacabado de Segesta (de finales del siglo V a. C.) está construido en una cima justo a las afueras de la antigua Segesta, con una vista muy bella sobre el valle.
Es uno de los templos griegos mejor conservados. Seguramente por varias causas a la vez: por su aislamiento en lo alto de un cerro, sin tentaciones de utilizarlo para materiales de construcción locales, y porque nunca ha sido profanado debido a que no se había completado.
Nunca se le puso tejado, y sus columnas permanecen en bruto, esperando ser estriadas.
Fue construido por la gente de Elimia, probablemente alrededor de 430-420 a. C., pero nunca se acabó.
Es un templo dórico de un tipo períptero con columnas de 6×14 sobre una base 21×56.
La estructura del templo está intacta con el tímpano en su lugar. Las columnas no son estriadas, los tabuladores utilizados para levantar los bloques están todavía presentes en la base, y no hay ninguna traza de una nave o un techo.
El templo de Segesta es, en su construcción, estilo, y medida, un producto estándar de finales del siglo V a. C., excepto por su estado inacabado y su notable estado de conservación que le hace uno de los templos arcaicos que sobreviven más importantes del mundo.

TEMPIO DI SEGESTA, alcuni particolari
Il tempio dorico circondato di colonne, e con sei colonne nel fronte, incompiuto di Segesta, di finali del secolo V a. C., è costruito in una cima giusto alla periferia dell'antico Segesta, con una vista molto bella sulla valle.
È uno dei tempii greci meglio conservati. Sicuramente per varie causi contemporaneamente: per il suo isolamento nella cosa alta di un dorso, senza tentazioni di utilizzarlo per materiali di costruzione locali, e perché non è stato mai profanato poiché non si era completato.
Non gli fu mai messo tetto, e le sue colonne rimangono grezzo, sperando di essere striate.
Fu costruito dalla gente di Elimia, probabilmente circa 430-420 a. C., ma non finì mai.
È un tempio dorico di un tipo periptero con colonne di 6×14 su una base 21×56.
La struttura del tempio è intatta col timpano nel suo posto.
Le colonne non sono striate, i tabulatori utilizzati per alzare i blocchi stanno ancora presenti nella base, e non c'è nessuna pianta di una nave o un soffitto.
Il tempio di Segesta è, nella sua costruzione, stile, e misura, un prodotto standard di finali del secolo V a. C., eccetto per il suo stato incompiuto ed il suo notabile stato di conservazione che gli fa uno dei tempii arcaici che sopravvivono più importanti del mondo.

Tintern
When the abbey was founded, I don’t expect the Cistercian monks could have ever imagined seeing this site. A 21st century aircraft flying above the ruins of the 12th century Tintern Abbey. 888 years later people are still enjoying the abbey on a daily basis, probably more so that the experience of getting through a modern day airport !!
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
There are a lot of Ancient common lands around Malvern.
When I first arrived here in the early 70's sheep grazed on it and if someone left the cattle grid gates open you could find a sheep mowing the lawn for you. Waking through it today T iwas full of orchids, grasses and wildflowers.

The Ancient Mariner
This statue was commissioned in 2002 by the Watchet Market House Museum Society.
It was sculpted by Alan B Herriot of Penicuik,Scotland and erected in 2003 as a tribute to Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
This renowned poet resided for some years at the nearby village of Nether Stowey. In 1797, whilst on a walking tour, Coleridge visited Watchet. On seeing the harbour he was inspired to compose one of ht best known poems in English literature,
