The Temple of Zeus, now in ruins, was an impressive piece of 
architecture.  Here's a museum model of what it looked like:

And here's one of the colossal supporting human figures, called 
atlases.  Big fellow, isn't he?

I like this picture a lot. An agave plant sends its seed pods upward to 
populate the next generation. The fallen atlas just lies there.

What's left of the temple now, after Carthaginian conquest, earthquakes, 
and quarrying:

Click on any picture to enlarge. Olympus E-M5 and 20/1.7.  Apologies for 
the lousy weather.  Enjoy anyway!
