Sailboat at Sunset Argolic Gulf Nafplio Peloponnese Greece Nafplio, nestled in the northeastern part of the Peloponnese in Greece, is a picturesque coastal town renowned for its rich history and captivating beauty. Once the capital of modern Greece, Nafplio boasts a blend of Venetian, Ottoman, and Greek architectural influences, creating a unique and enchanting atmosphere. The town's charming streets are lined with neoclassical mansions, vibrant bougainvillea, and inviting cafes, making it a delightful destination for visitors seeking both relaxation and cultural enrichment. One of Nafplio's most striking features is its impressive fortifications. The Palamidi Fortress, perched atop a hill, offers breathtaking views of the town and the Argolic Gulf. Constructed by the Venetians in the early 18th century, this formidable stronghold can be reached by ascending its 999 steps, a journey rewarded with a panoramic vista and a sense of historical grandeur. Additionally, the Akronafplia Fortress, the oldest part of Nafplio's fortifications, provides insight into the town's strategic importance throughout various periods of its history. https://fineartamerica.com/featured/sailboat-at-sunset-argolic-gulf-nafplio-peloponnese-greece-wayne-moran.html #Sunset #Sailboat #Nafplio #Peloponnese #Greece #fortress #architecture #travel #travelPhotography #Landscape #landscapes #art #fineart #ayearforart #buyintoart

A European paper wasp (Polistes dominula), spotted building its nest on the door of our house on Evia island, , in late April.

Though these wasps look a lot like your average , they're very peaceful even if you come close to their nest. They're also not interested in your strawberry cake or any other human food, but feed on insects and spiders.

A Reading from Homer (1885) by Lawrence Alma-Tadema (1836-1912). Through attention to details such as architecture and dress, Alma-Tadema evokes scenes of everyday life in ancient Greece and Rome. However, his pictures are rarely entirely archaeologically accurate. For example, while he accurately rendered the ancient musical instrument on the left, a cithara, he also included a type of rose that did not exist before the 19th century.

Here, a young poet crowned with a laurel wreath reads from Homer to an audience dressed for a festival. The setting is probably Greece toward the end of the seventh century BCE. The Greek letters in the upper right indicate that the place is dedicated to the poet.
