At the end of the evening tour, we went to the best viewpoint on the rocks to watch the sun setting behind the mountain range of Pindos or according to Greek mythology, we saw the god Helios on his fiery chariot taking his horses to rest.

Sunset View Point The Roussanou Monastery Meteora Greece

At the end of the evening tour, we went to the best viewpoint on the rocks to watch the sun setting behind the mountain range of Pindos or according to Greek mythology, we saw the god Helios on his fiery chariot taking his horses to rest. My shots of the evening of changing light painting the landscape in shifting hues of rose and orange sunset at Meteora was a once-in-a-life-time experience.
A perfect end of the day with a stunning sunset at Psaropetra sunset view point in Meteora.

The Roussanou Monastery, perched on one of the stunning rock pillars of Meteora in Greece, is a breathtaking testament to the harmonious blend of natural beauty and human ingenuity. Established in the 16th century and dedicated to Saint Barbara, this monastery is one of the six active monasteries in the Meteora complex. Its strategic position atop a narrow rock pinnacle offers not only a serene retreat for its nuns but also panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, filled with rugged cliffs and verdant valleys.

This image depicts an ancient underground structure, likely a crypt or a burial chamber. The architecture features stone columns, an arched ceiling, and remnants of frescoes or decorative plaster on the walls. The overall design reflects historical building techniques, possibly from a period when such structures were commonly used for religious or funerary purposes. The muted colors and worn surfaces suggest it has endured significant aging over time.

This photograph was taken in a Tibetan monastery kitchen. The pots are used to serve butter tea while the monks pray and sing. The butter tea is salty and tasty.

Ancient Pillars Temple of Apollo Archaeological Site Delphi Greece

Delphi, an archaeological site in Greece, is one of the most significant locations of ancient Greek civilization. It is renowned for its historical, cultural, and spiritual significance. Here are some key points about Delphi:

Historical Significance
1. Oracle of Delphi: Delphi was home to the Oracle of Apollo, one of the most important oracles in ancient Greece. People from all over the Greek world and beyond came to consult the Pythia, the priestess of Apollo, for guidance on various matters.
2. Panhellenic Sanctuary: Delphi was a major center for the worship of Apollo. It was considered the omphalos, or navel, of the world, a central meeting point of heaven and earth.
