Hello Doda…
I really enjoyed the way you told us about the discovery of the temple in Edinburgh, almost top of on Calton Hills… The photos are really captivating and I do now understand why you characterize it as being sublime (as it “could easily communicate with God”…).
It does really look similar (if not identical to the Parthenon in Athens).
Beautiful post my friend… Wishing you a great weekend,
Aquileana 😛

Thaaaank you,dear Aquileana for your rich and approving comment ! No wonder though you liked it as you are so close to the Ancient Greek Spirit ! Actually,it is an unfinishrd Temple,due to lack of funds,yet glorious and quite close to the Parthenon in Athens,as it was meant to be. You have all my love as always ,
Doda 🙂 ☆ ∧ _ ∧ ☆ (´・ω・`)
