Meteora, Thessaly, Greece

the distant Pindos mountains reminded of home ground, but the particulars of this and so many travel destinations can often be refreshingly different, and a real eye-opener

on the sandstone formation to the left is Agia Triada, one of many old monasteries in the Meteora area

One wonders how they built that monastery on top of that sandstone formation. Doesn't look very accessible.
