Poseidon's Temple :Greece


Poseidon's Temple Posted by Hello

Poseidon's Temple is found at Cape Sounion, just outside Athens.

It is located almost at the center of the island and myth has it that Poseidon exchanged his Temple at Delphi with the one that Apollon had at Kalavria in Poros. The Temple of Poseidon is of the Dorian order and it has six columns on its short side and 12 columns on its long side.

If my memory serves me right, there are three important temples, Poseidon, Acropolis and one more which forms an iscosceles triangle.

Montserrat, Spain Posted by Hello

Located in the province of Barcelona, the mountain called Montserrat is the setting for the pilgrimage shrine (the basilica housing the image of St. Mary), a monastery, and service area for visitors

The Montserrat Virgin was found in a cave on top of the mountain in the 800's. It was a site of pilgrimage and a monastery was founded there several hundred years later. If you make it up the mountain by 10 AM, there is a service in the cathedral featuring the best boys choir in all of europe. The monastery is so high up that you can see planes flying far below. The beauty of the cathedral, the mountains, and the music is overwhelming. The first sound is the choir. The second is the church bells calling to service. The third is the choir and the fourth sound is the choir and congregation


scene of "I'm sixteen" song Posted by Hello

The Sound of Music Pavillon: can be found at Hellbrunn Palace today, in the movie it was still located at Leopoldskron Palace. One of the most famous and romantic scenes was filmed here: 'I am 16 going on 17'.

I saw some young people posing inside the pavillion singing the famous song :) I actually have some other photos standing on the bench inside just like the Liezel in the movie :)
