Agia Triada Monastery

The monasteries of Meteora, Greece, are built on rocks reaching up to heaven. This is the Agia Triada Monastery, which was used as filmset for the James Bond movie "For Your Eyes Only".

 

Until sunset it was quite busy at the road around the Meteora monasteries. Then, when the sun had set, (almost) everyone left and it was a special atmosphere, standing there, watching the artificial light getting brighter than the natural light. I could get some sense how the monks and nuns feel, when the real solitude comes. Some nuns went for a short evening walk on the street and greeted friendly. But almost every tourist was already far away, most of them in the village I guess.
