Thank you!! Only problem is that the road seems to be one on which cars drive and that was not supposed to happen. The Temple itself should have had vibrant colours, like it was during that era. But well. At least the Chiton is ok.

I didn't know temples were brilliant colors. I didn't catch that it looks like a car drives down it. Just tell eveyone that is chariot tracks, lol. It's a cool image.
