Pilgrimage to Mount Athos B&W

Welcome to my galleries, please do not hesitate to write your opinion or suggestion. Thank you for visiting Antonis

Mountain Athos (Agion Oros in greek) is the most holy place of Orthodoxy.
No picture could describe the beauty of this place...
You can see here the desperate attempt of a pilgrim to give you a small idea of it.
Unfortunately the spirituality can only be felt and can not be transmitted with the narrow limits of my photographic skill.

This captures the essence of Athos! The hidden life of the Spirit. Depth which can not be attained through color photos. Ft. Worth, TX USA

you say that the spirituality can't be expressed with the 'narrow limits of you photographic skill' but i'm afraid we're going to have to agree to disagree there! this is an incredible gallery...such depth and emotion and respect in each picture.

Wonderful! It really gives the sense of steps... Thank you for sharing that beauty. PS Agion Oros stands for Sacred Mountain in Greek, I suppose.
