After the Acropolis, Delphi Greece is the most popular archaeological site in Greece. Delphi in ancient times was considered the centre of the known world, and home of the sacred Oracle.

Thanks so much! I've always wanted a picture of Delphi for my desktop. (Sometimes I think my computer would do better if it has access to an accurate oracle!). I like the way the everlasting purple mountains indicate that this spot is almost older than time! Those ancient columns and cracked paving stones speak of the ages...it must have been wonderful to find this spot free of tourists and other distractions.

Great shot! I guess the sun is high in the sky. The oracle is casting a short shadow. This is certainly a sight I have never seen before.

Beautiful shot I think we could all use a sacred Oracle these days.

I enjoy the backdrop of mountains and appreciate the inclusion of the evergreen imitating the stone pillars.

I could always use some advice to ignore, maybe I'll put this in me gps and take off now. What a place, what a view. I understand how they could see forever.

Great shot - brings back memories of my trips to Greece, my paternal heritage and to Delphi in particular. Thanks for sharing.
