Friday theme 25th January 08 "Rock or Rocks"

St. John Kaneo - Ohrid
Just above a small fishing settlement, on a cliff rising up from Ohrid Lake, stands one of the most magnificent churches in all of Macedonia.

Built in the honor of St. John the Theologian, St. Kaneo with its sublime atmosphere and views of the placid lake below remains an inspiring place for spiritual contemplation.


The church, which was consecrated at the end of the 13th century, was built on a rectangular stone base. Its exterior is decorated with ceramic decorative sculptures and stone carvings.

Though the fresco painters are unknown, the fragments that have been preserved are of exceptional quality; The Communion of the Apostles and the portraits of St. Clement, St. Erasmus and Constantine Kavasilas especially stand out.

An extraordinarily unique construction, built as it is from a combination of Byzantine and Armenian architectural styles, St. Kaneo is indeed one of the most beautiful churches in Macedonia and in the whole Balkan region.

Good morning Zorica

What an incredible view. A wonderful looking building and awesome rock face. I like the idea of this shot in sepia as it gives a timesless ageless feel which suits the rocks.. I would like to see it in colour too though. Do you have an original you cna post to workshop?

lovely capture TFS and for joining in the theme

kind regards Helen

Zdravo, Zoko:)

Jako lepa crno-bela kompozicija i jako lep i originalan okvir. Slažem se sa Helen da sepia daje slici utisak starine, ali bih takođe volela da vidim i kolor verziju, pogotovo zbog ovih fantastičnih odsjaja na vodi:)

Pozdrav i lep vikend:)

Sephia - pun pogodak.
Sve je dobro ukomponovano - linija neba i linija vode u simetriji, a linija rama prati istu krivinu.
Ljudi daju zivot ovom nestvarnom kamenom prizoru.

Pozdrav.
