The ever so impressive Artemis of Ephesus.
Fun fact; the original statue was lost, in probably a fire around 2000 years ago. Temple of Artemis was prone to floodings, fires, and was structurally compromised, but wasn't moved because it was built on holy grounds. The original statue was most likely made of wood and did not survive a fire. After that many more statues were made, but these are considered copies. This lady here is a copy too.
Artemis of Ephesus is vastly different from the regular Artemis who is a huntress. This is because Ephesus had It's own goddess deity which was merged with Artemis in time and became a local version that was only worshipped by people of Ephesus. Her symbol is the "bee" and she is also a goddess of fertility unlike the regular Artemis.
And the boob like structures around her torso is less likely to be boobs and more likely to be symbols of fertility for the people of Ephesus: bull testicles or bee eggs. In some other statues these structures are more clearly breasts, for example "the Fountain of Diana" in Sicily.
Her crown symbolizes the city she protects. She has depictions of animals she protects and rules all over her body, along with symbols of fertility and a Zodiac wheel.

How awesome is this building I found out of nowhere that has a CURVED window? A curved window.
Excuse my giant nerd. I almost fell when I saw this. I felt dizzied by its nonchalantly bold fabulousness.

Tried long exposure at night. It was a relatively starless night, so seeing this blew my mind. How amazing it would be if we could see this every night. Hard to feel alone.
Fun fact: the slight blur is caused by earth's rotation! Zoom to see it better

There is a part two of the figs. I did go back, but it took my procrastinating ass some time, so there were fewer. I took the remaining figs, just a few, but definitely enough for a small batch of jam. Didn't hope to get the whole tree anyways, gotta share with all the bugs, birds and others.
