More Naxos
Saturday, June 2, 2007
So many photo opportunities get away from us. Here is one that didn't.
We had just passed a marble cutting factory on the right and noticed their discard pile to the left. As we got closer we saw the small herd of goats sunning themselves in the late afternoon. They found us interesting to watch as well.
Riding the back roads into the isolated valley that holds the ancient Temple of Demeter I felt I was living a scene from countless movies that I saw as a child. We were the explorers searching for the treasure that was not visible to mere passers by. Then we found ourselves in a hidden valley lush in vegetation and at its center a magnificent temple.
It was quite interesting. This site is maintained by the Ministry of Culture so it has explanatory descriptions as well as a museum.
Update: Whoops, forgot this:

While I am at it, check out AuctionAds. It's new but has the great potential of eBay.
