METEORA, THESSALY, GREECE #1946A
The Monastery of Holy Trinity is in the cross-in-square type with the
dome based in two columns, built in 1475-76 and decorated in 1741. The
spacious barrel - vaulted esonarthex was founded in 1689 and decorated
in 1692. A small skeuophylakeion was added next to the church in 1684.
The Metéora (Greek: Μετέωρα, "suspended rocks",
"suspended in the air" or "in the heavens above" -
etymologically similar to "Meteorite") is one of the largest
and most important complexes of Eastern Orthodox monasteries in
Greece, second only to Mount Athos. The Metéora is included on the
UNESCO World Heritage List.
It lies at a distance of 105 kilometres from Ioannina, 285 from
Thessaloniki, and 326 from Athens.
The filming of the James Bond movie "For Your Eyes Only", starring Roger Moore, took place at this famous location.

What a wonderful place, I visited a while ago before digital cameras so only have some old prints. I'd love to go return and get some 'real' shots!
