Ιερά Μονή Ζωοδόχου Πηγής ('Αβελ), Βήσσανη Πωγωνίου
Η ιερά μονή Άβελ βρίσκεται κοντά στον οικισμό της Βήσσανης σε δασώδη περιοχή που ονομάζεται «Μοναστήρια». Η επωνυμία της, κατά την επικρατέστερη άποψη, οφείλεται σε κάποιον γαιοκτήμονα Άβελη, ο οποίος χρηματοδότησε την ανακαίνισή της, λίγο πριν το 1770. Ωστόσο η παράδοση αναφέρει πως η πρώτη ίδρυση της μονής έγινε από τους μοναχούς της μονής Γιουρχάν, που υπήρχε σε κοντινή απόσταση, οι οποίοι αφού την εγκατέλειψαν λόγω επιδρομών, ίδρυσαν τη μονή Άβελ.
Το καθολικό ανήκει στον τύπο του σταυροειδούς εγγεγραμμένου ναού, αθωνίτικου τύπου με τρίπλευρους πλάγιους χορούς στη νότια και βόρεια πλευρά. Ο τρούλος κοσμείται με τυφλά αψιδώματα και μία οδοντωτή ταινία. Στην ανατολική πλευρά εξέχει πεντάπλευρη αψίδα και στη νοτιοδυτική γωνία υπάρχει μεταγενέστερο κωδωνοστάσιο. Στη δυτική πλευρά υπάρχει νάρθηκας. Στο εσωτερικό ο ναός κοσμείται με τοιχογραφίες του 1770, των ζωγράφων Κωνσταντίνου και Μιχαήλ από τους Χιονιάδες Κόνιτσας, οι οποίοι έδρασαν το 18οαι. στην Ήπειρο, τη Θεσσαλία και τη Δ. Μακεδονία. Το τέμπλο του ναού είναι νεότερο (19ου αι.) ξυλόγλυπτο, επιχρυσωμένο και παρουσιάζει ομοιότητες με το τέμπλο του Αγ. Νικολάου Βήσσανης, ώστε να θεωρούνται έργα των ίδιων τεχνιτών.
Σήμερα, από το μοναστηριακό συγκρότημα σώζεται μόνο το καθολικό και το σύγχρονο ηγουμενείο. Η μονή διέθετε μεγάλη κτηματική περιουσία και συντηρούσε μεταξύ των άλλων και σχολεία της Βήσσανης.
Holy Monastery of Zoodochos Pigi (Abel), Vissani Pogoniou
The holy abbey of Abel is located near the settlement of Vissanis in a wooded area called "Monasteries". Her name, in the most prevalent view, is due to some landowner Aveli, who financed her renovation shortly before 1770. However, tradition reports that the first foundation of the monastery was made by the monks of the Yurhan monastery, which was nearby , who, after abandoning it because of raids, founded Abel Abbey.
The katholikon belongs to the type of cruciform inscribed temple, of the Athonite type, with trilateral lateral dances on the southern and northern side. The dome is adorned with blind arches and a toothed tape. On the east side there is a five-sided arch and at the southwest corner there is a later bell tower. On the west side there is a splint. Inside the church is decorated with frescoes of 1770, painters Konstantinos and Michael from Chionades Konitsa, who acted in the 18th century. in Epirus, Thessaly and Macedonia. The iconostasis of the church is newer (19th century) wood carved, gilded and has similarities to the iconostasis of St. John the Baptist. Nikolaos Vissanis, so that they are considered works of the same craftsmen.
Nowadays, only the Catholic and modern priesthood survive from the monastery complex. The monastery had a lot of property and preserved, among others, schools in Vissani.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to view, comment, and fave my photo. It’s really appreciated.
Jökulsárlón ends at the Diamond Beach.
It is a beautiful black sand beach where you can see ice-cubes and crystals that are washed up from the sea, which is actually very beautiful especially at dawn, sunrise or sunset because then light illuminates the icebergs.
Sometimes it's worth to experience very cold and to get soaked the boots for getting scenes like this.

Scottish highlands do not lack for drama. This was a short 3 mile trek to an area called Fairy Pools in the Isle of Skye. But it took us the best part of 2 hours to do it. Why you ask? Well look at the scenery. You tell me this is not utterly gorgeous, and you wouldn’t spent ages trying to get some perfect landscape shots while you had the opportunity.
a day out on a jeep safari - wasn't sure what to expect - had the most fantastic day. the people here are amazing - they just get on with it and are so helpful. love them and their beautiful,stunning country
Hiked to Mount Pemigewasset (2557 feet) in White Mountains. At the peak, I watched clouds were over sun. Sun tried to shine through the clouds. What a dramatic moment!
We spent 2 weeks driving around most of Utah's National and State parks. It was a great vacation and quite an adventure watching the change of scenery and we weaved in and out of the parks.

Τὸν ποταμόν, τὸν γλυκερόν τοῦ ἐλέους σου,
τὸν πλουσίαις δωρεαῖς δροσίσαντα,
τὴν παναθλίαν καὶ ταπεινήν,
πάναγνε ψυχήν μου, τῶν συμφορῶν καί τῶν θλίψεων,
καμίνῳ φλογισθεῖσαν, μεγαλύνω κηρύττω,
καὶ προστρέχω τῇ σκέπῃ σου σῶσον με.
Από τον μεγάλο παρακλητικό κανόνα προς την Υπεραγίαν Θεοτόκον

St Peter’s Church, Poulshot, near Devizes in Wiltshire, on the last evening of September, seen from the north-east in a long exposure that has pulled the cloud into streaks across the sky.
The church lies in the Vale of Seend, north of Salisbury Plain, and stands on its own among fields, well apart from the village it serves. Local tradition links that separation to fear of plague, and plague pits are said to lie in the churchyard, marked by a skull and crossbones set into the stonework on one side of the church.
The oldest parts, including the nave, date from the thirteenth century, and the building was considerably altered in the fifteenth. A fire in 1916 destroyed most of the nave roof, which was then rebuilt. The narrow west tower with its pyramidal roof was added in 1853 by the rector, Canon William Fisher, in memory of his wife, who had died the year before.
St Peter’s is a member of the Small Pilgrim Places Network, which describes it as a simple stone church, light and full of sunlight inside, with “an air of still and calm” that makes it a natural place for quiet prayer. A Celtic service is held there on a Wednesday evening once a month.

Look, I apologize for that huge amount of P1 shots in my feed, really. I just can't help myself but love the car so much to a degree P1 is becoming another entry on my improvised "All-time car favorites" list. :))
Also, 2014. Oh boy, sure time flies fast.
A view of the Légende Tower, formerly known as the EDF Tower, in the business district of La Défense, near Paris.
The 24-metre-wide canopy creates an almost futuristic foreground.
The building was designed by the architectural firm Pei Cobb Freed & Partners, associated with architect I. M. Pei, and remains one of the distinctive contemporary landmarks of the La Défense skyline.
