I was greeted this morning by a nice new photo on the Corum Page, of ancient ruins somewhere, maybe Greece or Sicily? Does anyone recognize the place?

Looks like the Forum Area of Rome.
If you right-click on it, and select "view image", you can see the photo on its own and the filename:

If you look at the Wikipedia article for the "Temple of Vesta" there is a photo of the same 3 pillars: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_of_Vesta

Thanks, Sherlock! It never occurred to me it might be right in Rome, at a place I have been recently.
I was hoping for Sicily, as the photo gave me that “I want to go there!” Feeling.
I wonder how they got a shot in the Forum with so few people?

It is clearly the Roman Forum. You can see the Arch of Constantine in the far background. A classic picture.

It was probably hot as heck! You can see a tour group huddled under the trees on the left - that's where our guide led us on one of my RS tours to Rome!
