Peace of mind
It had been raining for almost three days. I was quite frustrated not having any chances to take a decent shot. After all you can't visit Agio Oros every day and when you manage to do so you're not allowed to stay more than three nights. 
Quite unexpectedly, on the second day the rain temporarily ceased and pockets of clear sky, combined with puffy but still menacing  clouds, appeared. 
I dared a rush upon the Skete trying to ''shoot'' as many frames as I could. I did, yet the most thrilling part was the unexpected encounter with a 92 year old monk, who was labouring his steps on the steep ground trying to reach his home. What he told me filled my eyes with tears... 

Location: Skete of Saint Anna (Just below St. Peter and Paul's cell), Mount Athos (Agio Oros), Hellas.
