View of the Portara on Naxos at sunset
Petrou V.
Colour photographic view of the Portara on Naxos at sunset, photographed by Petros V. in August 1973. The monumental marble gateway of the ancient Temple of Apollo appears in silhouette, with the sun positioned directly behind the left jamb, creating a brilliant glow and rays of light spreading through the opening. In the background lies the sea, its surface reflecting the golden light of the setting sun, while on the horizon the silhouette of Paros can be faintly seen beneath a sky of warm orange and yellow hues.
