Walking around Argos today, you can't suspect it has been inhabited since the Neolithic period! It is the biggest town in Argolis and a major centre for the area but all you can see is a small city not any different from many others in Greece.
And yet it has been continuously inhabited as at least a substantial village for the past 7,000 years and is a member of the Most Ancient European Towns Network!

@intrepidphotos Tuesday of Antarctica and World´s Oceans entry:
Sunset over P.P. Long Beach with some longtail boats (ruea hang yao) parked for the day. This shot was taken just about a month before the 2004 Boxing Day or Indian Ocean tsunami wiped out everything on the island including most of the beautiful people there. Phi Phi Don is a rugged limestone island with development confined to a low sandbar isthmus separating two main wings of the island and did not stand a chance. The waves up to 30 metres (100 ft) high ended up taking the lives of approximately 280,000 people across 14 countries. Ko Phi Phi Don. Ko Phi Phi Archipelago, Andaman Sea, Thailand. Shot taken of Fuji Velvia Slide Film.

There are few things as romantic as a walk along a deserted beach during a proper African sunset. No filtering or editing applied... just an epic sunset on the South coast of South Africa.

Schönbrunn Palace, a wonderful building in the heart of Vienna, Austria. getting into the palace from this large garden is taking quite some time. So you can enjoy the nature until you go into the palace.

After a trip to Geysir and Gullfoss, around 100 km from Reykjavik, I saw a real icelandic sunset. The sun exactly between the cloud and clean sky part offers a great spectacle. Cold weather but heats the heart :)
Definitely heats the heart !! I guess it was great for the eyes see such sunset :)
Iceland does have stunning landscape; was there in the winter too, cold but loved every second.
That sure is a stunner!
In this picture you can see the Eibsee. He is in Bavaria (Germany) you can walk around him to see all the beauty. The mountain in the background is the Zugspitze. It is the highest mountain in Germany. he is 2962 meters high.
Spectacular shot!
Thank you so much!
Glad to see you back with this amazing shot!
Thank you! I'm glad to be there again.
Stuttgart, Germany
This is my Hometown Stuttgart in South Germany. I took this shot last summer when I was back home. In the picture you can see the Mercedes Benz Soccer Stadium as well as the Mercedes Benz Museum
Thank you so much for your submission!
The old town of Skopje is a labyrinth of cobblestone streets, numerous traditional restaurants and cafés, lots of souvenir shops and in the background you hear again and again a call for prayer from the mosques. It really is a unique atmosphere that you can find almost mowhere else in Europe.
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful entry with all of us.
Zagreb Cathedral, Croatia
Europe is home to many amazing cathedrals and so it is no wonder that Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, has a medieval cathedral of its own that can be seen from many spots around town.

I have been there last year! Attractive architecture and beautiful time to take a photo of that sun is going down :) :)
It's a beautiful city!
What a great place that is!
Miradouro da Boca do Inferno
Seeing a photo which was taken from this viewpoint made us wanna go there too. After a walk of about 15 minutes you will have this great view at the lakes Sete Cidades.
What a beautiful scenery, stunning!
Cathedral Aleksander Nevki Sofia an eloquent example of Neo-Byzantine style built between XIX and XX centuries. It is told that it was built thanks to Bulgarian people in the memory of the soldiers who laid their live for the liberation of Bulgaria from Ottoman Empire.
Thank you so much for your participation. Have a great day. Tomas
You too thanks for this always interesting challenge!!! :) :)
Curonian Dreams
Another perfect sunset at Curonian Gulf, Lithuania. Nearby Klaipeda.
Very very calm evening with great soft and dreamy pallette of colors. Very wide angle lens to get most of the scene in one frame.
The mirror water produced just amazing reflection and final great result with nice clouds formations in the sky
Enjoy the scenery!

That sure is really calm and that reflection of the sky in the water is just out of this world.
Biggest, if we look overall, waterfall of Sweden - Tannforsen. Here in its winter look. After really cold days, waterfall begins to freeze, first - building this huge icycle forms on the sides, later, at the end of February - March, is covered by ice in almost whole size! - just imagine the mass of ice which gather around the flowing water... waterfall is 60 meters wide.
Looking at your pic just reminds me of what's to come pretty soon - snow, lots of it:)
Great that we live in countries where we can experience snow... just imagine how emty the winter would be without it...
