14th century AC

Greece
Creta
Fodele village and Church of The Holy Virgin.
In the village of Fodele in Creta stands a beautiful little Byzantine church dedicated to Virgin Mary. It was built at the 14th century and decorated with frescoes, most of them ruined through the years. The interior was very smoothly lighted by the penetrating morning sun tempting very much for photography...

    such places as this, very old and often very dark are difficult to photograph but with the morning light this is superb and full of details.
    Well exposed and with superb details.

    Beautiful ancient ruins. We should do any effort to save them from time damages.

    beautiful old stonework, the remains of the frescoes showing on several walls ... the difficult light managed well, Alex - and I wonder how much colour is still left in these old paintings ....
    greetings, Adele
