We are Emma Holmbro and Ake Dahllof. We live in Stockholm, Sweden. We have travelled more or less regularly since the mid 1990-ies and it seems like the more we travel the more difficult it is to decide where to go next. Not because we are running out of places to visit but because we find more places we want to go to faster than we manage to travel to them.

Paphos
Another church to add to the one you posted in TB's "Cathedrals, grand churches, mosques and places of worship" thread in the Photography Forum that I have posted for you. Built next to ancient columns. Gotta love ancient ruins. Fascinating. We do not have them in Oz except ancient rock art.

We don't have many ancient ruins either
Sweden is far north in Europe so neither the Greek Empire not Ancient Rome ever included our territory. We did however produce some buildings ourselves 800 years ago or so and some of those are today nice looking ruins. I love the ancient art in Australia and I would love to visit again and see some more.
