Between Earth and Heaven 3
Greece
Region of Thessaly(Central Greece)- Thessaly plain
Meteora (For more information please refer to the first photo in the series. Thank you very much).
This photo is also a detail of the first in the series( taken in a diferent time) and shows the monastery of The Holy Trinity on top of a rock over 400m height built around 1470 with a rich decoration completed at around 1750.Initially the monastery had a very difficult approach requiring crossing the whole valley and then climbing to top in a basket. Later there was a rudimentary road from the back side of the cliff and ,presently,one can reach to the top via tunnels and 150 steps of stone.
(Photography with Mamiya AFD 645(Phase One) with a 6x4,5 digital back DM22. Coloured then to monochrome).

A place where God and those who are willing and strong enough to climb towards heaven are cominng closer.A philosophical questioning of a quest .alexander stefanatos 12/09/2015 0:12

No computers or modern equipment to built the Monastery at the top or the rock. Like the shaft of light:-)) Harold
