20 Jun 2005 "Mount Athos"

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.

Canon EOS 20D ,Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS
1/60s f/5.6 at 59.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Amazing picture! The way textures of the wet stones fade in the mist is just perfect! Also the pattern of stone fences repeating creates a great rhytm! Vote!

Nice shot, must be hard to separate your emotions from the images you are now processing. Step away, come back later and you will see what you have achieved . . .
