Birth-place of Olympic Games Photo

Photographer’s Note

I don't expect this to be a croud-pleaser as the place really does not look that impressive on my photo as it was, but I'll post it anyway...

This photo is taken in Olympia, the birth-place of Olympic Games. There are ruins of all sorts of buildings - baths, gymnasiums, leonidaions, altars, temples, etc. On this particular photo you see the stadium. The stadium dates back to 5th century BC. In this stadium the embankments did not have stone seats, except the platform for the judges.

It sure felt good to run back and forth with couple of friends there...
