The monastery sits on the slope in the morning mist. The light is so gentle that everything around looks very serene.

Михайло Бондаренко The stonework is old, it can be seen that the walls date back to the 17th century. The tower has settled a little, but it is holding strong.
Ioana Stoica Yes, that thick masonry looks good. I read that in the area, at the monasteries in that valley, the monks still use a spring with cold water right under the rock, for centuries.
Юрій Марченко I think this is the monastery of St. Elijah. The water from that spring under the rock is still as cold as ice, even in summer.
