Temple of Apollo

We promised in a previous entry that we would revisit the Temple of Apollo and get some pictures of the improvements made to the area.

With new lighting and other street furniture as well as the road being relaid to cobbles, it has made the area very picturesque.

The statues are quite friendly too.

This is Ken and Betty making friends with an old guy. We are told that this was modelled on a chap who still lives locally and is actually 92 years old.

This water carrier statue incorporates a working tap on the end of the spout of his water jug.

and all along the street plants have been hung on the walls, so when they are in full bloom, it should be very colourful (as long as someone has been commissioned to water them every day.
