Sanctuary of Apollo by carole_sandford

Sanctuary of Apollo

The weather today has been pretty rubbish, light has been dark & just generally not a day conducive to photography. So for this week’s architecture theme today, I thought I’d have a bit of fun! This photo is a throwback to the first time we lived on the island of Cyprus. ( sometime between 1983 & 1986) This was taken using the camera timer, mobile phones were not a thing 😉. The ruins were on the site of the Temple of Apollo near to Kourion, founded around 14 BC. Amazing that there are still lintels in place!
What a glam pair you are too! Lovely to have this glimpse of your past & the scene is perfect.

A moment in time, captured so well. We have visited North Cyprus a few times and loved it. Whereabouts were you?

@busylady first time we lived at Dhekelia & second time Ayios Nikolaos, (about 4 miles from Famagusta, though obviously that is in the North.) Have visited the North quite a few times, one of my favourite places is Bellapais abbey, not far from Kyrenia.

What a great memory. We were in Cyprus from 1983 to 1986 and lived in Erimi village for 8 months before moving to Akrotiri. I could have waved to you from Erimi.

They were still building the Temple of Apollo when we were there, ha ha.

Didn't we all look young back then and probably a lot skinnier too, ha ha
