The temple of Portunus, which has also been called Temple of Fortuna Virilis - but the dedication to the harbour-god Portunus is now the generally favoured one. This is one of the best preserved Roman temples there is. The building that still stands dates to around 80-70 B.C. - replacing an older temple on the same spot. The temple survived because it was converted to a church (St. Mary - in around 872) and in the 16th century it was given to an order of Armenian monks who kept it in reasonable good shape.
Not to spoil the magic of how I do my photos, but this is my avi shot three different times. It took me all day, but mostly because Second life was acting up and my inventory disappeared for a couple hours...

It was a glorious early morning at lake Braies in Italy. The sun started to rise giving the mountain ridge a golden glow. The lake is completely still appearing almost like a mirror offering the perfect reflection.
