Sketches from Europe: A view of Delphi

Delphi is still one of my favorite places to visit. I would like to go and spend a few days there. It is so peaceful and beautiful. Here is a sketch looking down on the temple of Apollo from my last visit in February.

Bow Tie Guy of the Day: Hector's Dolphin

Hector's Dolphin ()

Estimated at a population of around 7000, Hector's Dolphin lives along the shallow coast of New Zealand. They are the smallest and rarest dolphins in the world. They are around 4 ft in length. Their biggest threat is baycatching. They are also threatened by pollution and being hit by boats.

I thought I was done with posting dolphin's, but my visit to Delphi inspired me to do one more. You can find out more about them at the World Wildlife website here.

Temple of Apollo at Delphi, Greece

Here is the colored version of my sketch from at the Temple of Apollo in Delphi, Greece.

Visiting the Oracle at Delphi

Let me first start off by saying I love Delphi. It is a beautiful small village and now one of my top ten favorite locations on the earth. The ruins at the Temple of Apollo set against the Grecian mountains were majestic, somber, and beautiful. I got a sense of the sacred standing next to these structures. It was inspiring to stand amongst the history. Here are my sketches of the Treasury of the Athenians and the remains of the Temple of Apollo.
