The castle of the throne
This is one of the most iconic Greek monuments. It was built by the Venetians in 1473, on the tiny islet of Agioi Theodoroi, at the entrance of the port of Nafplion. They named it "Castello dello Soglio" (The castle of the throne) but the Turkish name "Bourtzi" was the one that lasted through the centuries!
During the turbulent Greek history this small castle has been used in many and some times, contradictory ways! Among others it has been a prison and a luxury hotel! Today it is under renovation but it is still wonderful to look at it, especially during the sunset!

your blog is full of amazing stuff, I will happily follow. enjoyed yesterday your story about harvesting olives. (so, I assume you are a tripod kind of photographer?..)
@trdo
Thank you @qwerrie! I am really glad to hear that someone still reads my older posts :)
And yes I do like to have a tripod with me when I feel I need it!
your blogs are high quality; so, probably, yes, why not? :)
ps. personally I prefer handheld job, love to keep things simple. but maybe this will change in time - last winter I obtained one, for the love of macro.
