For Helen's theme: Black and white outside.

Thank you Helen for the theme!

Here is in the yard of Monastery Radu Voda in Bucharest.
In image is a monk announcing Evening Service of Vespers with a special beat in
wooden tabula - English
toaca - Romanian
klepalo - Serbian
semantron - Greek.
Here is a photo where this action may be seen frontaly

Orthodox monks are dressed always in black, but this special large mantle it's not a daily dressing, but only for special moments of holy services. One of them is this, for announcing the service.

Church is white and simple, like usually in Romania. A traditional saying says: "The only colour of church is colour of sun shining upon it!"

Have a nice weekend everyone! :)

PS I keep searching through my photos one with a tabula, I hope I will find it and post it in WS.

Mihaela,

This is a beautiful photo! I am Greek Orthodox and our cathedral is white. I have never heard the phrase before, but it is beautiful.

I love the beautiful flowing dress of the monk. You have captured it very nicely. All of the shadows and different textures make for a great photo for the theme.

tfs, Lisa

E foarte misto da' are ceva straniu.
In primul rand pentru ca toaca de fapt nu se vede si apoi din cauza hainei rasfirata de vant ...

ps.reviu cu puncte
pps.Cred ca as taia un pic de sus (cat sa dispara dungile alea oblice)
