Today's APOD: the Πortara

To celebrate the vernal equinox, APOD has a picture of the Portara--the entrance of the ancient Temple of Apollo on the island of Naxos--take at sunset during last June's summer solstice. However, when I look at the picture, I see an image which would have been very appropriate only four days ago(Pi Day). That's right, I see the silhuette of a Capital letter pi against a setting circle. I'm such a geek!

geeks are great! geeks see the world in an interesting way some people are not lucky to experience.
There is a term called ' geeked out ' meaning for example .. you got geeked out how the photo looks like pi to you.

people who are geeked out enjoy life in a happy way
