The Roussanou Monastery, a photo from Trikala, Thessaly

Photographer's Note

This is the Roussanou Monastery at Meteora, Trikala, Greece.

I took the shot from the front side of Monastery. This monastery is one of the four monasteries that they are active now at Meteora rocks. It's a female monastery and it is over of 400 years old. It's the first holy place you can see after you leave village Kastraki.

The around nature is very impressive due the famours Meteora rocks. It's a place worth to visit when you will visit Greece.

Although your image is a little bit reddish it clearly shows how the monasteries on the Meteora hills were built; ON the rocks!
Your viewing angle is very nice. We can clearly see that the monastery is part of the rock!
Thanks for sharing!
