Meteora 'hovering in the air'






Tá metéora monastíra - the monasteries suspended in the air. The first settlement by monks took place in the 10th century. In the 16th century there were still 24 prosperous monasteries. Today, only six monasteries are inhabited, two with nuns and four with monks.

    Gigantisch....wow...atemberaubend. Bei sowas bleibt mir die Sprache weg. So stelle ich mir sofort immer diese Mühe vor dort etwas zu bauen. So klein wie dieses Kloster von der dortigen Aufnahme wirkt so groß wird es letztendlich sein.

    Ich glaube dies ist wirklich ein Ort wo man die innere Ruhe finden kann

    Ich wünsche dir eine schöne Woche und sende liebste Grüsse zu♥
