Pancratium maritimum on the Aqueduct

2000 years ago the Romans ruled here, and they built an aqueduct to pass water to the city of Caesarea (that was built in honor of Julius Caesar).
today some parts of it still stand, no longer passing water - but every summer the Sea Daffodils bloom there. the flowers open about an hour before sunset, so you get all kinds of lovely photo-ops, like here: the flowers with the shadows of the Aqueduct's arches.
