Monastery on a slope in the morning fog. The light is so soft that everything around seems completely quiet.

Валентина Соловьёва It turned out beautifully, especially this fog on the slope.
Elizabeth Wright The mist really makes the slope disappear.
Stephen King That mist does make the whole slope vanish like in Elizabeth's comment. Nice shot.
Radu Gheorghiu Yes, that fog hides the slope completely. I know that in that area of ​​monasteries in the Carpathians, thick fog gathers in the morning because of the temperature difference with the valley.
Тамара Смирнова My gaze was immediately drawn to the tiled roof; it was a little darker than everything else and seemed to float above the fog. You can clearly see how the brickwork stands out.
Алексей Петров The brick on the walls is exactly the same as in our old Pskov churches, only here it is darker from dampness. The fog is really thick in the mornings in those gorges.
Olivia Lewis The brickwork does stand out against the roof tiles. That monastery is dedicated to St. George, right?
Michał Kaczmarek The brick on the wall is really dark with moisture.
Андрей Попов Tamara correctly noticed about the tiles; they really seem to hang in the air. And their bricks are definitely darker than ours from Pskov due to this dampness.
Евгения Комарова Tamara, that’s right, the tiles are just floating. And the dampness of the brick also shows the texture better than on dry walls.
Δέσποινα Χατζή The brick there looks darker from the moisture, as they say. Does the monastery receive visitors daily or only at certain times?
Irene Wilson The brick really does show the texture better when it's damp like that.
Lucie Nováková That foggy haze really hides almost the entire slope.
Десислава Илиева There, in the Carpathians, moisture often forms just such a thick fog, especially after a nighttime cold. You can see how the bricks on the walls have turned almost brown.
Татьяна Михайлова Yes, the brick really turns almost brown from moisture. This monastery is dedicated to the Great Martyr George the Victorious.
Daniela Dobre Yes, that old brick on the walls looks quite worn, probably the construction is from the 17th century or so, with those simple arches typical of the older monasteries in the area.
Иван Атанасов The bricks of the wall below have turned almost brown from the damp, and the marks of mortar between them are clearly visible.
Paul Davis The brick really picks up that damp look and makes the mortar lines pop. Id like to see it in person one day.
