Entrance to the Paleokastritsa Monastery

09 May 2012 277
The Paleokastritsa Monastery in Corfu, Greece is dedicated to Panagia (Virgin Mary) of Paleokastritsa. It is a Byzantine Monastery that dates from 1228, however most of the surving structures date from the 18th Century. It was mobbed with tourists when we went and the highlight, sadly, was watching the large buses attempt to manouver in the tiny parking lot. AIMG_4096

Leaving Corfu, Greece. This photograph was handheld and taken from a moving ship. I did not hold out much hope for this shot, but liked the monotone aspect of it. AIMG_4223
