This is the view of the staircase going to the very top level of one of the Rousanou monastery in Meteora. It looks like you are climbing to the sky , hope you like it.(Meteora #12)
Meteora is from the biggest and most important group of monasteries in Greece after those in Mount Athos. We can locate the first traces of their history from 11th c. when the first hermits settled there. The rock monasteries have been characterized by Unesco as a unique phenomenon of cultural heritage and they form one of the most important stations of cultural map of Greece.

Ah.. such a lovely POV!

I like the natural warm lighting & shadow play! Meteora seems to be an exceptional place to visit with all its history.

Thanks for sharing all this with us :)

Hi Vassilis,
I like much the shades and the light in the stairs, the sharp colors and the light movement of the clouds in the sky. Beautiful view! Well done

Great perspective, Vassilis!
I fancy stairs photograph, and this is an interesting one...
Well composed and with good lines! Great colours in particular the wonderful sky...
Greetings,

One of the important things in a photo is that the mind can fill in
First we see a stair with nice shadow working
The end and what we will see is unknown
That makes a good and interesting photo
Mission completed

Hi Vassilis,
I like this POV that make us want to climb and admire the beauty of the environment. The shades in the stair add some very nice textures and lines. Very well done.
Luc

Καλησπέρα Βασίλη

Πολλή ωραία προοπτική με το μάτι να οδηγήται κατά μήκος της σκάλας και να προσπαθεί ν' ανέβει ψηλά. Το έχω επισκεφτεί αυτό το μοναστήρι (βασικά πρέπει να την έβγαλες επάνω στην γεφυρούλα)!.
