[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Greek word Meteora means "suspended in the air".
The conglomerate rock at Meteora, Greece, has eroded into fantastic peaks upon which medieval monks built monasteries, several of which are still active. The isolated monasteries of Meteora helped keep alive Greek Orthodox religious traditions and Hellenic culture during the turbulent Middle Ages and Ottoman Turk occupation of Greece (1453-1829). In 1988, UNESCO declared Meteora to be a World Heritage Site.

That's some amazing view.
Interesting and stunning piece of architecture "joined" up with the rock.

I wonder how you get up there ;-)
