27 Jun 2005 "Leaving the Monastery"

This is an image from my new gallery "Pilgrimage to Mount Athos"
You can visit the gallery by clicking the image bellow.
Mountain Athos (Agion Oros in greek) is the most holy place of Orthodoxy.
No picture could describe the beauty of this place...
You can see in this gallery the desperate attempt of a pilgrim to give you a small idea of it.
Unfortunately the spirituality can only be felt and can not be transmitted with the narrow limits of my photographic skill.

Nice exposure as the shadows have good detail. And, of course a wonderful subject leading us into the image.

almost feeling empty by leaving this wonderful place (reflected by the uncertainty of the outide world in this pic).

what a monastery this must be--- the intricate desing of the door with mist--- your eyes were probably instantly drawn to this view--- i could see why!! very ethereal !! bravo!!

Fantastic atmosphere Antonis. This mist matches with the spirituality of this holy place.
