Despite the rainy weather, it's really impressive and it's hard to believe that work is still being done there! The farmer showed us his machines and equipment

Landed here on the way to Anfredsro Gård, nice place with cozy nature.

Beautiful part of Skåne, especially now that everything is green. If you're lucky, you might see red deer when you drive through here. The Lodge is nearby if you fancy a spa day.

Björnstorp's annual Christmas market is an event to look forward to every year! We never miss it.

The Christmas market was disappointing, there were too many people, too few sales to really look like it was Christmas, and no 'real' food you could buy for lunch, despite the cafe and food stalls...

Argos Theater

The ancient Argos Theater was built in 320 BC. and is located in Argos, Greece against Larissa Hill. Nearby from this site is Agora, Roman Odeon, and the Baths of Argos. The theater is one of the largest architectural developments in Greece and was renovated in ca 120 AD.

The Hellenistic theater at Argos is cut into the hillside of the Larisa, with 90 steps up a steep incline, forming a narrow rectilinear cavea. Among the largest theaters in Greece, it held about 20,000 spectators and is divided by two landings into three horizontal sections. Staircases further divide the cavea into four cunei, corresponding to the tribes of Argos A high wall was erected to prevent unauthorized access into the theatron and may have helped the acoustics, but it is said the sound quality is still very good today.

Around 120 CE, both theaters were renovated in the Roman style.
