Share each Friday, on your own blog, one photo…or maybe even a gallery of some of your favorite photos that you have taken during the week, that make you smile or that was a great photo capturing opportunity…anything really! And as photographers are often known to say, “The best camera is, the one that you have with you!”

Favourite Photo Friday, 2015 Photo Breakdown (2016-01-15)

Those of you snapping pix, know this to be a tedious task, since to be honest, they are all favourites of the moments they were taken, why else would you have shot them in the first place, right? Trying to limit to just one or two photos is difficult for any post, but trying my best here from the several thousand photos shot and posted during 2015 😉

For this weeks Favourite Photo Friday posts, I have decided to walk through 2015 and choose a few of my most favourite ones during the coming weeks. Hope you enjoy the walk down memory lane of 2015 in photographs!

For this week’s breakdown, I have chosen snaps from London, Mallorca and Greece. Go and check out the related posts:

UK, London, The Natural History Museum

Greece, Athens, Acropolis, Travel to History

Mallorca, Palma Nova Holiday Resort

Enjoy!

The Erechtheion temple priestesses, Acropolis, Athens, Greece

Acropolis

Four ladies of the temple
Each other do they resemble
The guardians on the porch
Standing tall with their torch
In this place of worship
For the Greeks of ancient

Erechtheion priestess

World Wide Wednesday Presents:Athens, Acropolis

“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched – they must be felt with the heart” Helen Keller

World Wide Wednesday Presents:Athens, Acropolis

Basking in the sun
Athens, Acropolis
A place of fun
A place of knowledge

Climbing up the mountain
Looking for the fountain
Of wisdom and history
Shrouded in mystery

Walking in the footsteps
Of the ancient Greeks
But, watch your steps
On the narrow streets

Once reaching the top
The effort but one hop
The view of awe and beauty
You know it really was your duty

Acropolis of Athens: Photography & Poetry

“A great city is not to be confounded with a populous one” Aristotle

Acropolis of Athens

Acropolis of Athens
Who knows, what happens
In this place of fun
And place of knowledge

The Parthenon, Propylaia and Erechtheion
Just to name a few of them
One named after the mighty
And powerful Athene Nike

Join us on this uphill travel
Maybe some mysteries will unravel
While roaming the ancient ruins
Like some pilgriming druids
