In Sardis 2 Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

This is such a peaceful place - at least it was in March. A beautiful ruin in a gorgeous natural setting. The old kingdom of Lydia, land of Midas and Gyges. As much myth as history, with a touch of the pagan thrown in.

"...Great God! I'd rather be
A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn;
So might I, standing on this pleasant lea,
Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;
Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea;
Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn."

Wordsworth, The World is Too Much With Us
