The immensity of these trees never cease to amaze me. Definitely a favourite biome.

Cape Sunion is the farthest point of mainland Greece. In ancient times it was considered a sacred place; from its steep cliffs the mythical king of Athens, Theseus, thinking that his son Theseus had been killed in battle with the Minotaur after seeing the black sails on his ship, threw himself into the sea (hence the name Aegean), on the walls of the ruins of the ancient temple of Poseidon, which rises on the cliffs from where you can enjoy spectacular views of the Aegean Sea and where Lord Byron engraved his name.
Przylądek Sunion jest najdalej wysuniętym punktem Grecji kontynentalnej. W czasach starożytnych był uważany za święte miejsce, z jego stromych klifów mityczny król Aten Egeusz, myśląc, że jego syn Tezeusz zginął w walce z Minotaurem po tym, jak zobaczył czarne żagle na jego statku, rzucił się do morza (stąd nazwa Morza Egejskiego), na ścianach ruin starożytnej świątyni Posejdona, która wznosi się na klifach, skąd można podziwiać spektakularne widoki na Morze Egejskie i gdzie Lord Byron wyrył swoje imię.
Here is my last post of the year, something a little different.
There is an abandoned temple in the forest that is fabled to house all of the knowledge of the gods. Those not kept away by reverence risk a run-in with the red demon who guards it.
Happy New Year everyone!
