Arches. Καμάρες.

I love arches. All building elements with an arch. Entrances, rooms, corridors, stairways, corners. They look so beautiful and they are tied to traditional building in Greece.
Λατρεύω τις καμάρες. Όλα τα στοιχεία ενός κτιρίου με καμάρες. Εισόδους, δωμάτια, διαδρόμους, σκάλες, γωνιές. Είναι τόσο όμορφα και τόσο δεμένα με την παραδοσιακή ελληνική αρχιτεκτονικη.

    Costas, each of these images with the arches is marvelous. Love the walls, tiles, lighting, the histrionics that many of these must hold. There is warmth in these and arched entrances seem so very welcoming~

    I have never seen such beautiful stone work and such beautiful weathered colors. Greece has a reverence for the past. The US does not. It has reverence only for money. One of the key battles of the American Civil War was fought here in Nashville. The South lost the war here-
    And where is the battlefield? Has it been preserved like Shiloh or Gettysburg?
    Of course not. They built a mall on top of it.
