Temple of Aphaea Athena IV, a photo from Attiki, Attica

Photographer's Note

The "owner" of the first Temple (6th c. BCE) was not Athena but Aphaea, as was of all the small Temples that had formerly been built in that very place, which Temples were something like country chapels. Many centuries before, since the founding of the holy site, it was Aphaea who was worshipped in Aegina. Athena was added just to the second (and last) Temple in 500 BCE as a "splendid housemate".

Hello Vasilis,

Good idea with this original FG. The ruins arise very well under this beautiful blue/cloudy sky. I like too the beautiful harmony in the colors.
Have a nice WE,
Roger

Hi Vasilis,
very attractive capture. The cloudy sky makes a wonderful background for the ruins. Everything is so colorful. The map makes a nice foreground and at the same time provides the information about the place.
Very smart and pretty presentation,
M

Bonjour Vasilis,

Le trétaux explicatif guide le regard vers le produit réel qui est magnifique dans ce ciel nuageux. Le point de vue est bien choisi.

Amicalement

Hi Vasilis,

It was very nice to leave the plate in the FG so we can have a better idea of the temple size. Bealtiful contrast of the pilars against the amazing sky.

Cheers, Maurício

Good morning dear Vasilis,
Another good capture with good photographic values but most important with perfect notes.
What inspires me much is the slightly tilted "guiding" plate in the front part. Perfect idea, to get the information and than wi,th slightly tilted eyes to compare the info on the main subject ! Very clever idea.
TFS and have a nice weekend
Best regards

Hi Vasilis

the use of a small aperture give a sharpness on the explanations at the FG and on the temple at the BG. Perspective well managed with the vertical pillars against a cloudy sky. I would have cropped a little bit the bottom .
have a nice sunday.

Geia sou dear Vasilis, I have been away for the month of October and am delighted to see your Greek photos. The vertical framing suits the subject perfectly and those amazing clouds add to the impressive perspective. Wonderful colours and sharpness. TFS and I wish you a good Sunday, Lisa
