Photographer's Note
The best and most interesting transfer from a Monastery to another in Mt. Athos is by feet following paths. I took the shot from the path "Iviron Monastery to Stavronikita Monastery".
Stavronikita monastery (Greek: Μονή Σταυρονικήτα) is an Eastern Orthodox monastery at the monastic state of Mount Athos in Greece, dedicated to Saint Nicholas. It is built on top of a rock near the sea near the middle of the eastern shore of the Athonite peninsula, located between the monasteries of Iviron and Pantokratoros. The site where the monastery is built was first used by Athonite monks as early as the 10th century. Stavronikita was the last to be officially consecrated as an Athonite monastery in 1536 and ranks fifteenth in the hierarchy of the Athonite monasteries and currently has 30 to 40 monks.

Βασίλη καλημέρα,
ωραία η λήψη της Μονής Σταυρονικήτα με την φουρτουνιασμένη θάλασσα στην άκρη του βράχου.Φαντάζομαι για αν χρησιμοποιήσης 1/500 sec,θα ήσουν μέσα στο καραβάκι, που ενώνει τις μονές με τον έξω κόσμο.
Σε χαιρετώ,Δάνος

Hello Vasilis,
Beautiful setting of the Stavronikita Monastery, with an excellent light.
And with a very brave sea caught by the strong waves in the foreground.
