Abstract

View of sunrise from Delphi, looking East over Mt. Kirfis

Description

View of Mount Kirfis (Ορος Κίρφη) from Delphi. In the foreground the three columns of the Sanctuary of Athena Pronoia can barely be made out. The highest peak visible is Xirovouni (Ξηροβούνη) standing at 1560 meters, or 5118.11 feet tall. Photo was likely taken from the road at the base of the main Delphi Sanctuary, facing east.
