ciao Vasilis,
imponente la struttura del monastero che sorge su questo sperone di roccia e che il POV dal basso rende al meglio.
Ottimo il cielo con le sue nuvole come sfondo,
saluti

Hi Vasilis
Interesting how this monastery sits on the steep cliffs, truly a spectacular scene and the effect is further enhanced by this impressive pov. All so very well exposed in the sunlight to get every detail in lovely colours. The cloud formation further intensifies the beauty. A stupendous scene, clean, sharp and a great notes too. Well done. Congrats
