A short bus ride up from Aegina Town, the Temple of Aphaea is set in an idyllic spot the hills. The tranquil setting made for quite a contrast to the chaos of the Acropolis in Athens.

Sunset over the River Neva and the Kunstkamera Museum, St Petersburg
From Wikipedia : "The Kunstkamera or Kunstkammer was the first museum in Russia. It was established by Peter the Great on the Neva Riverfront (now Universitetskaya Embankment) facing the Winter Palace. The turreted Petrine Baroque building of the Kunstkamera designed by Georg Johann Mattarnovy was completed by 1727. The foundation stone for the Kunstkammer was laid in 1719.
Peter's museum was dedicated to preserving "natural and human curiosities and rarities". The tsar's personal collection, originally stored in the Summer Palace, features a large assortment of human and animal fetuses with anatomical deficiencies, which Peter had seen in 1697 visiting Frederick Ruysch and Levinus Vincent. The underlying idea of their kunstkammers was to acquire full knowledge of the world. The Dutch word "konst-kamer" seems to be introduced by the surgeon Stephanus Blankaart in 1680."

The hills above Bodrum in South-West Turkey are full of these defunct windmills.
No, I haven't been off on exotic travels again, I've been sat at my scanner working on photos I took on my first trip to Turkey, almost 10 years ago. I found it to be a great country full of varied scenery, interesting sights and very friendly people.
