Your selection of time to shoot is excellent, the dark sky actuates the shape of the church and the empty chair gives it some of a comfortable place to be. V!

The whitewashed domes and twin crosses of the Monastery of Taxiarchis glow dramatically against the night sky. The solitary bench and deep shadows give this historic sanctuary a quiet, contemplative atmosphere....V
