My holiday in Greece seems a long while ago but here, finally, I hope, is a day spent at the Evangelistra Monastery in Skiathos, Greece

High up in the mountains nestled below Karaflizanaka, Skiathos' highest peak, the monastery of Panayia Evangelistra can be found hidden away among pine trees and olive groves; a world of peace and tranquility all unto itself.

The photo above is taken from the car park




The small church in the centre of the courtyard









Two of the beautiful icons from inside the church.
This one was nlaid in glass and in the thin shaft of light from the smal window it seemed to float










This was part of a larger image that covered one wall.
