Day #127

Title: Corinthian Columns
Location: Tharros, Western Sardinia
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: We ventured south today to explore a little more of the island. Heading for Cagliari, we took a detour near Oristano to the Capo San Marco where we stopped off at the Phoenician site at Tharros. It had rained heavily on the journey, but the sun eventually came out as we were wandering around the ruins. The thermal baths were nearby, and it must have been quite something to lie in one of them and look out at this view over 2,500 years ago. This was a peaceful part of the day, and a complete contrast to having to negotiate busy Cagliari in the evening rush hour to find our hotel! See more pictures taken today.
