madonna on the rocks....

Greece, Aegean Sea, Cyklades
One of the many churches, scattered in the Aegean islands, built in solid rock and lonely but always enjoying the humble light of a single candle lit in front of a modest madonna icon...

    The builders of this church past away so long time ago... But the memories about them are still in live!

    a scene where time has stood still ... the rocks so massive and with the cross on the top and dramatic clouds above a very strong image and mood .... excellent composition, details and textures !!!
    Easter Greetings,
    Adele

    What an impressive place. Amid the backdrop of rocks and threatening sky, this little haven. A photo full of drama, serenity and beauty. Alexander, I wish you a wonderful Easter. BW Roland

    Such buildings and where they are built never ceases to astound me. A superb scene showing off this iconic little Church.

    Soberbia ! .Fantástica !. Hermosa edición en un blanco y negro de bellos contrastes y amplia gama de tonalidades perfectamente expuestas…para esta pequeña iglesia que parece navegar azarosa, pero firmemente , sobre un mar de roca . Esta me parece, sin duda, una de tus mejores imágenes .
    Cordialmente
    Alfredo

    Dear Alexander : ¡Feliz Pascua de Resurrección !¡ Happy Easter !

    a rugged but very charismatic place, where the earth and the heavens seem to be touching! the little church appears to grow right out of the rock like – oops, i think the upcoming simile will be quite a turnoff ; ) – like a corn growing out the big toe of a giant. sorry, but a mythical giant's feet, is what the bizarrely shaped rocks remind me of! an eye-opening image for me once again, alexander! greetings and happy easter! sabine
