Photographer's Note
The garden in the Monastery of Pantocrator.
Women cenobitic monastery. The original building was built in the 10th century and rebuilt again in the 12th century. During the Frankish monastery received Franks (1204-1456). Then the Turks sacked and left without monks for over a century. On Easter Sunday of 1680 the pirates captured Agarinoi who massacred all the monks of the Abbey (179), leaving it to 273 years without ascites. Saved the old marble altar and Holy eight banks.

Γεια σου Βασίλη!
ένα "διαμάντι" κρυμμένο στην Αττική γη! Υπέροχη φωτογραφία, άψογο κάδρο και σύνθεση! Ο "βαρύς" καιρός βοήθησε στον να δημιουργηθεί μια επιβλητική ατμόσφαιρα! Εξαιρετική διαχείριση του φωτός, υπεροχα χρώματα!

Tu apportes beaucoup d'attention aux détails et au traitement.
Bravo

Καλησπέρα
Όμορφη βίλα περιβάλλεται από τροπική βλάστηση. Φοίνικες πράσινο και ένα σπίτι με ζεστά χρώματα, ωραία αντίθεση με το γκρίζο ουρανό. Εξαιρετική ευκρίνεια.
Χαιρετισμούς

Hello Vasilis,
The rich vegetation makes a fine frame for our view to the beautiful building!
The composition is well balanced and has sharp fine details, and the stairs makes a good lead-in to the place of interest...
