Photographer's Note
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,
εξαιρετική η πανοραμική παρουσίαση της Μονής Σταυρονικήτα,με την οξύτητα και τις λεπτομέρεις της φωτογραφίας να είναι τόσο λειτουργικές.Το πεπόνι και το καρπούζι στ' αριστερά, είναι μια καλή λεπτομέρεια της σκηνής.

Vasilis Kalimera!
Very good point of view. In the foreground of the melons ... bingo. The fortress-like building, I think a strong Italian influence. Technically excellent, brilliant colors and sharpness.
Have a nice day.

PS: I trust that things are slowly straighten out your house. Nyárin when we were in Rhodes, the taxi drivers went on strike. Was quite specific. One week there was no taxi transport, then they had to work, just not used to taximeters. It is true the prices honestly counted.

Con gli ottomani che entravano a Vienna ..
la Grecia era il primo contrafforte.
La storia della Grecia ed il carattere forte dei suoi uomini.
Quando lo spirito religioso ssi affianca al mantenimento della identità.
Grandi foto forti di carattere e spessore artistico - storico .

Hi Vasilis,
this is such an extraordinary place and this presentation is not less spectacular than the previous one. I like very much the well saturated colors which are so eye catching. Very tidy composition, everything seems to be well thought through. I like the watermelon and pumpkin in the foreground, they add a nice touch -some oval shapes which contrast with predominantly rectangular elements.
Excellent work,
Have a great weekend,
M

Hello Vasilis
Wonderful view of the monastery against the clear polarised sky. I remember the bridge on the left from your previous post. The view from the lowish POV works beautifully! Good colours & fine contrast!
Best Regards
