19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
The Russian orthodox monastery at mount Athos in Greece

Athos peninsula is a monastic area characterised as world heritage, including monasteries of Balkan countries. A cruise like that is unique and it was a goal for me to have the chance once in my life to take pictures from that area. I finally did it - the Russian monastery here is one of the most colourful ones.
