Two treasures in one ... My angel's face shadow on an old roman mosaic in Phaselys - Turkey

Posted by Forget-me-Not on August 21, 2011

Many times i have been in Phaselis, where three millennia ago, in roman times there was a prosperous port town from where oil rose was shipping all over the world. A wonderful archeological site situated in the middle of a forest and along three perfect little bays where to swim, a dreaming and romantic place where to rest away from the crowd.

Many times i have walked there, fascinated by the ruins of that old harbor, but never before i saw that amazing heart mosaic, and as i was walking first in the ruins, my angel behind me, this heart suddenly appeared with my love's head's shadow in the middle of it. We both took it as a sign... and i took this picture to immortalize that magic moment.

Next time i will go there, i won't probably see this heart anymore as it should be covered again by the sand and the pines needles that are so present in that place.

For those who want to know more about this place we love so much, check this link.

Hello Katrina,

It's great that you could understood what i meant with this photo. Sometimes, life gives us some kind of very unexpected signs and i have to admit that we both were moved by it. Thanks for taking the time to read this post and to comment it.
