Анастасия Кузнецова It turned out beautifully, the fog just envelops the walls. In Georgia, ancient frescoes from the 13th century are often preserved in such monasteries.
Pandeli Kristo It also looks peaceful in the mountains of Georgia. In some monasteries there they also keep manuscripts from the 12th century that the monks still read.
Μιχάλης Αθανασίου The walls are built with large stones, as if from the 11th century. Looks like a solid build.
Sofía López The stones of the walls look very thick and placed without visible mortar, typical of constructions from the 11th or 12th century. It seems that they hold up well over time.
Галина Голубева The walls are made of large stones, and the roof is quite simple, with one small dome. You can clearly see how the fog lies directly on the slope below it.
Petar Nikolić I see that the roof is very low and flat, almost blending into the rock behind it. Very simply made.
Софья Семёнова Yes, the dome is very small, almost invisible in the fog. In such Georgian monasteries they still serve according to the ancient Jerusalem charter, which has been preserved since the 10th century.
Sophia Bennett The dome almost disappears in that mist.
Тимофей Тарасов You can clearly see how the fog lies right on the roof. I would like to go there and see it myself.
Антон Виноградов The walls are made of large stones without noticeable mortar, just like in old fortresses. The fog almost completely covers them from below.
