Sunset View Point The Roussanou Monastery Meteora Greece

At the end of the evening tour, we went to the best viewpoint on the rocks to watch the sun setting behind the mountain range of Pindos or according to Greek mythology, we saw the god Helios on his fiery chariot taking his horses to rest.

Sunset View Point The Roussanou Monastery Meteora Greece At the end of the evening tour, we went to the best viewpoint on the rocks to watch the sun setting behind the mountain range of Pindos or according to Greek mythology, we saw the god Helios on his fiery chariot taking his horses to rest. My shots of the evening of changing light painting the landscape in shifting hues of rose and orange sunset at Meteora was a once-in-a-life-time experience. A perfect end of the day with a stunning sunset at Psaropetra sunset view point in Meteora. The Roussanou Monastery, perched on one of the stunning rock pillars of Meteora in Greece, is a breathtaking testament to the harmonious blend of natural beauty and human ingenuity. Established in the 16th century and dedicated to Saint Barbara, this monastery is one of the six active monasteries in the Meteora complex. Its strategic position atop a narrow rock pinnacle offers not only a serene retreat for its nuns but also panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, filled with rugged cliffs and verdant valleys.

Random memory: Some 45-50 years ago, my dad sold and serviced #CPM machines, specifically #GeminiMicrocomputers from the #UK. His customers seemed to be primarily people connected to printing and the press. One guy represented a printing house, which I believe also doubled as a #Buddhist #monastery, and visited my dad's shop quite frequently.

The thing that triggered this memory, was that apart from #Buddhism and printing, my dad's customer - friend if I'm not mistaken - also did a bit of recreational programming. He was in fact the author of a Danish #Pacman clone called "Gufferen" which translates to something along the lines of "the muncher". At the time, it was a breath taking action game in 80x25 character resolution, and I'm absolutely gutted that I will probably never see it again.

Good times.

New discoveries at Himmelpforten Monastery reveal architectural marvels and historical artifacts Archaeologists in Germany have uncovered significant remains of the Himmelpforten Monastery. This monastery, founded in 1253 by the von Hartesrode noble family, served as an important religious, cultural, and economic center in the region until its downfall during the 16th-century Peasants’ War. The excavations have uncovered a 130-foot (40-meter) long, three-aisled basilica with Gothic architectural features and remarkably well-preserved stone and tile floors. The cloister, located to the south of the church, had three wings surrounding a central courtyard. In the west wing, researchers found an advanced 14th-century hypocaust heating system, which directed warm air to the calefactory, a room designed to provide warmth for monks during the cold months...
