Radu I enjoy browsing this set of photographs.
Really interesting. Wouldn't like to be the postman.
That's why this place is called Meteora meaning "suspended in the air", same root as meteor and meteoroid, the shooting star. The funny thing is you can find shells there since million years ago the place was under the sea.
Although now is more easily to arrive at the top of these cliffs than in the past,small resting places are well received.

The improvement of the weather (and the times:)) shows to more and more people what the faith can do.

Periodically I visit and catch up on your posts. Your images take me places I would like to visit. Nice job.

I don't know why, I notice such nice floors. The paintings are so bright and cheerful, beats a door full of skulls for cheering one up.
