Dear friends, this is my last post up to the end of June. I will be away on a business trip to Romania.
This is the view from one side of the Rousanou monastery in Meteora.(Meteora #13)
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.

Hi Vassilis,
An awesome point of view my friend!
Building and landscape is framed in a way that strongly enhances the drama in the situation, very well done!
Great feeling of depth, almost like 3D...
And have a pleasant and successful trip!
Greetings,
Pablo -

Hello Vassilis,

Not for the fainthearted like me. Excellent POV showing the edge of the precipice and the view beyond. Lots of lovely textures and good even colouring. Have a safe trip. TFS,
David

Βασίλη γειά σου,

Πολύ όμορφη φωτογραφία και εξαίρετο βάθος πεδίου. Χρώματα αναλογα της περιοχής καιτης εποχής διανθίζουν το θέμα της.
Μπράβο.
Φιλικά
Γιαννης
ΥΓ. Καλό Ταξίδι εκεί που πάς και με την επάνοδο σου ελπίζω να τα πουμε και από κοντά.

Hello Vassilis, this pov is very impressive! The perspective is very well showned here.

I wish you a great trip even if it's for business in Romania and that you will be able to take lots of photos.

Take care! Yan :)

μου δημιουργεί ίλιγγο -καίτοι λατρεύω την αιώρηση στο κενό-. τα χρώματα είναι "ηττημένα" και τα βουνά ξέπνοα. ό,τι ακριβώς δηλαδή δεν ισχύει για την περιοχή. Και δεν βοηθάει καθόλου και το ανέμπνευστο χρώμα του σαχνισιού το οποίο εξουδετερώνει το -προκύπτων;- ροδαλί που του έλαχε να υποστυλώνει. Καλό ταξείδι! :)

Keep 'm coming, Bασίλη.
Nearly impossible, but you really managed to convey the height of this monastery. Excellent compo...
And it's always nice to see that scenery. I hope to visit the Meteora one day...

Hi Vassilis, what a good composition you have here. I like the little side extension attached to the all of the building. I don't think I'd like to stand in it...
The view from there must be quite awesome, what we can see of it is. TFS

A spectacular view. Enjoy Romania.

Hi Vassilis. You show the view really well, the house gives the dimensions and lead the eye into the frame.

Had to come here for 2 reasons: 1. view the photo ofcourse, and check out why the odd total in points. No answer to the 2nd item, but the shot is great. Again the composition combining close, medium and far points of interest, just draws the eye comfortably into the scene. Very nicely done Vassilis.
