I have been looking through some of my older photos (10 years and older) and have come across some wonderful memories. The only thing that I did not enjoy is how they were processed. I decided to give them some new life this week by re-editing them. The following is the write-up that I posted when the original photos was posted to my photo blog.
The Achilleion Palace on the island of Corfu, Greece, is our destination for today. The palace was built in 1890 and was named after the Greek mythical hero, Achilles. This image is of the patio in the rear of the palace. The patio's black and white marble squares reminded me of a life-sized chess board. The numerous large marble statues were lined up in similar manner as the start of a game. The early morning light and shadows enhanced the scene.
