"Engulfed" by history...

Greece
Creta island
Old and historic monastery of St Nicholas in Panassos.
Part of the history of the monastery has become the 90 years old monk that he has seldom been out, as he states.

    at first glance the expression on his face evokes concern for his old age and frailty and then on looking longer HIS personality takes over, the flow of warmth, empathy,gentleness, goodwill and understanding from the monk to the photographer. A very appealing and excellent shot reminding us that old age has it's strength.cathy

    Un ritratto davvero eccellente, dall'espressione intensa, scolpito dalle molto ben dosate luci ed ombre, la qualità della foto e del b/n sono superlative, come sempre...
    un carissimo saluto Alexander

    a great portrait,Alexander..
    His face looks tired, he has reached a high age and certainly experienced much.
    A wonderful image ..
