Today's Flickr photo with the most hits: the adyton of the temple of Apollo at Didyma - one of the great oracular temples of the ancient world. The view is taken close to the great stair that leads to the pronaos.

Within the sacred space of a Greek temple, a broad monumental staircase leads to the entrance to the temple. A doorway open to the priestly realm. in the pronaos, Ionian columns rise to a blue sky

The focus of interest on Flickr today seems to be my photos of the Temple of Apollo at Didyma. A renowned oracle of the ancient world.

The photo shows the temple wall, with the pronaos to the left. The adyton was at the far end of the temple.
