This little white chapel above the sea looks so peaceful that it makes you think about the silence we sometimes need. The light falling on its walls gives it a sense of simple peace.
Kjo kishëz e vogël e bardhë mbi det duket aq e qetë sa të bën të mendosh për heshtjen që ndonjëherë na nevojitet. Drita që bie mbi muret e saj i jep një ndjesi paqeje të thjeshtë.

Katherine Evans That little white chapel looks peaceful. I read once that the Albanian coast near Himara has over 30 small Orthodox chapels like that, most built right on the cliffs.
Xenia Campbell The whitewashed walls are pretty thick for such a small building, must be 17th or 18th century to stand up to the sea winds like that.
Валентина Павлова I would like to see it in person, it stands very well above the water.
Michał Kaczmarek The white chapel looks solid, I wonder how many people enter there at once.
Леся Панченко I wonder if they hold a service there at least once a year. Does anyone know how to get there from Himara or is it possible to just walk inside?
Zoran Živković Its roof is made of those old tiles that bent slightly in the wind, you can see how the light falls exactly on the right wall and highlights every stone.
Δήμητρα Αθανασίου I love that the light falls exactly where it says. Where and when did you take this photo?
