Mitsumine Jinja, one of my favourite places in Japan. This temple is so serene and absolutely gorgeous, I really would like to see it again. I painted it with water colours and gouache :)

’24.12.1 興福寺、春日大社参道、飛火野にて

この日も例によってまだ暗い興福寺から撮り始め、参道脇のWCにちょっと寄って(失礼😅)、飛火野で夜明けを迎えるいつもの休日。

ですが辺りはしっかりと秋色🍂。明るくなったら錦の光景が拡がることでしょう･･。

Aphrodite's Temples in Ancient Greece

Temple of Aphrodite at Acrocorinth

Aphrodite was the protector of Corinth, and she had 3 temples here, but the one at Acrocorinth was the most famous.

There was a statue of Armed Aphrodite (Aphrodite Areia) here

This temple is famous for alleged prostitution that took place here

Sanctuary of Aphrodite Urania (Athens)

dedicated specifically to Aphrodite Ourania

Temple of Aphrodite in Sparta

built on a hill and had two stories

Upper floor was specifically dedicated to Aphrodite Morpho

Had a statue of Aphrodite Areia in full armor

The remains of this have not been found

Temple of Aphrodite in Lesbos

In Lesbos, where Sappho lived

This is just a few of Her temples! I don't know, just wanted to give a few very basics on some!
