Through the smoke: Madonna and Child, ARMENIA.
Our first full day in Armenia was a Sunday. I'd lost track of that until we entered the monastry/church in the mountain town of Odzun (1200 metres). We were greeted by the beautiful sound of the liturgy and the amazing incense. The atmosphere was amazing!
I'm calling this photo "Madonna and Child". Please look through the smoke. The monastery was founded in the 10th Century.
One of my best and favourite, yet less successful images. The Fresco emerging from the smoke is, for me, exquisite.
Many thanks to Tatev Khorenyan, our brilliant guide in Armenia.
For those interested, hand held and no flash.
PLEASE: view large. Again its worth it!
AND: NO use without my permission.
Thanks for every visit, comment and fave! Des
