28 Jun 2005 "Monk in Karies"

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.

I will be away for a week
and my good friend Chris Sofopoulos will do me the favor to upload an image every day in my PaD gallery.
I would like to apologize for not being able to see and comment your images but I will catch up you all as soon as I will come back.
