Moni Varlaam, on the rocks

Moni Varlaam, Meteora, Greece. May 2007.

Perched high up on a rock Moni Varlaam is one of the many monasteries in the surrounding of Meteora. The astonishing geological formation offered the 16th century monks an improbable but phenomenal spot to built their monastery, withdraw from this impermanent world and get closer to heaven.
