This stone Greek anchor was discovered in La Baie d'Anao (Beaulieu) and dates back to the 6th century BC. It's on display by the harbour where it was found - Beaulieu-sur-Mer.

Fantastic shot of the anchor and the incredibly busy marina in the background.
Darryl and Ruth : )
Really cool perspective shot. Kinda cool that the anchor was made out of stone.
I am always suprised how long some objects can survive time. It is incredible, some ancient greek(s) made actually this anchor. Somebody who lived in the same time as Pythagoras.
