This large waterfall is on the same creek as my shot from yesterday.

 

I hope everyone enjoys this image. :D

Delphi is located in upper central Greece, on multiple plateaux along the slope of Mount Parnassus, and includes the Sanctuary of Apollo (the god of light, knowledge and harmony), the site of the ancient Oracle. This semicircular spur is known as Phaedriades, and overlooks the Pleistos Valley. Back in 2014

The Tholos of Delphi is among the ancient structures of the Sanctuary of Athena Pronaia in Delphi. The circular temple, a "tholos", shares the immediate site with other ancient foundations of the Temple of Athena Pronaia, all located less than a mile east of the main ruins at Delphi, in the modern Greek regional unit of Phocis. The tholos is part of the Delphi UNESCO World Heritage Site. (source: wikipedia.org)

This time with more water and no sun. It's a unique waterfall that would look good with varying amounts of water going over the falls.

Rounding the curve in Delphi with a hefty train of salt and potash in tow.

Delphi was the site of the Delphic oracle, the most important oracle in the classical Greek world, and became a major site for the worship of the god Apollo after he slew Python, a dragon who lived there and protected the navel of the Earth.

Delphi was since ancient times a place of worship for Gaia, the mother goddess connected with fertility. The town started to gain pan-Hellenic relevance as both a shrine and an oracle in the 7th century BC. Initially under the control of Phocaean settlers based in nearby Kirra (currently Itea), Delphi was reclaimed by the Athenians during the First Sacred War (597–585 BC). (Source : Wikipedia).

Built in the 5th century B.C., Its present form was acquired in the 2nd c. A.D. when Herodus Atticus financed the stone seating and the arched entrance. Its stone seats could sit around 6500 spectators!

Lovely evening lighting picked this windswept tree in the Delphi valley, County Galway, Ireland.

New trail at Delphi falls. Beautiful place!

I felt I had to put this forward to bring attention to the shameful decision by the Greek Government (obedient to their European political masters) to sell off the land around the battleground of Thermopylae for a few euros.

I hope that there will be an outcry from the Greek people that our heritage is not for sale, at any price!
