No matter how many sunsets we have seen...
No matter how many sunsets we have experienced and tried to capture for eternity at the same time...
No matter how many sunsets at the very same spot have been captured before us...
... sunsets will always be magical and fascinating and different... There are no two sunsets absolutely alike, no identical light, no identical colors and tones...
Each and every sunset is as new and fresh as each and every romance, often born at sunset time!

Sounion Cape, at no more than an hour from downtown Athens, is the sacred site of God Poseidon's Temple, God of the sea.
It is also where the ancient Greek King Aegeus commited suicide, falling off the steep rocks to the sea below, when he mistakenly thought his son Theseus had died.
Moreover, Sounion, along, with Mykonos and Santorini, boasts one of the 3 most beautiful and world famous Greek sunsets. The kind of sunset that is remembered forever by those who have seen it, the kind of sunset all the rest dream about...
Sounion and its sunset have already been captured millions of times, under all light circumstances, but most certainly this should not and will not prevent the future generations from capturing innumerable shots of the same spot, the same Temple, the same sunset...
For a different view of Sounion I strongly suggest that you check out my dear Flickr friend's, toomanytribbles, nightly approach

Quite simply, you will be stunned as I was!
Although this was not my original intention, my very dear anarrousa
www.flickr.com/photos/anarrousa/
suggested that this picture be associated with the eve of Christ's Resurrection, Good Saturday, which is today for the Eastern Christian Orthodox world.
Let me dedicate it then to all those who expect the Resurrection, the rise from the darkness... Let me dedicate it even more, though, to those who do not expect any resurrection, who think they have lost all hope...
Hope just can't be lost, my friends! It will always rise from the deepest, blackest dark, all lighted up and fluorescent enough to show us a way out...
This is the only question around Flickrland today and the single major issue talked about in private messages , public Groups and comments: No "Explore" today for April 18, 2009 shots!
Is it a temporary problem or did "Explore" finally get rusty, wear off and just passed away suddenly?
I have my own explanation: "Explore" may well be honoring and celebrating, in its own unique and inimitable way, the Christian Orthodox Easter... Dead on Good Saturday and now preparing its glorious resurrection - hopefully with more people and less mathematics involved in its mechanism of picture selection!!!
Have patience, Flickrers, and have faith too!!!

As seen from the Acropolis...
In the foreground, at the foot of the Acropolis rock, are the remains of the ancient Dionyssus Theater.
This is a picture for my dear friend Tom
as well as for all those interested in Architecture and in the relationship of modern architectural landmarks to their environment.
Although noone ignores the necessity of designing and building a New Museum for the housing of the Acropolis treasures, there's been a lot of controversy on where this Museum should be built.
My own reservations - if I am entitled to any... - concern the fact that we cannot see the building in perspective, since the area as a whole is really congested and the Museum is clearly being strangled by old apartment buildings on its back and on its left.
Right in front and just a bit to the left of the Museum, is the historically and architecturally priceless Weiler Building. Athens residents and city visitors can certainly appreciate the current and from now on eternal dialogue between these two landmarks.
Otherwise, the Museum in itself is masterfully designed and, along with the Acropolis itself, is a "must visit" for all those who wish to experience first hand the roots of Western civilization.

It's Freedom to Fail Friday again, folks!
Still getting the hang of this land camera. It tends to underexpose. I think this scene was so bright that I didn't trust myself to push "lighten" all the way up.
Have a great weekend, y'all!
Our ancestors have finally found a suitable home...
And this is it!..
With Acropolis being the epicenter of the Greek Antiquity and the Classical Age, the rock in itself as well as all the surrounding area were full of antiquities and priceless fragments of statues and everyday life "testimonies".
The small and obsolete Acropolis Museum, situated on the rock top, close to the Temple, was inadequate and the construction of a new one had been the dream of quite a few generations of Greeks and lovers of Greek civilization.
Finally, the brand new Acropolis Museum, an architectural landmark designed by the French architect Bernard Tchoumi and his Greek associate, Michael Fotiades, was officially inaugurated on June 20, 2009.
