bijan, this is such a gorgeous image at first I thought it waas a piece of a small mountain it looks like it is pushing out of the rock amazing artistic shot Like Mt Athos where the orthodox monks live but on a much larger scale overlooking the agean sea the reflection emphasizes its rocklike appearance you could meditate on this image

I thank you, beautiful young lady, for yet another visit to my gallery and your kind, thoughtful words. You seem to be an expert in touching hearts with your kindness. I like that. Some time within the next 2 or 3 days, I'll upload a shot of the inside of this priceless historical treasure. You're welcome to look for it. If the wind ever blows you to our neck of the woods, I hope to have the honor of driving you to this location so that you can see for yourself how incredibly gorgeous the whole area is. It's located right next to The Rocky Mountain National Park. In fact, the mountain you see in the background (Mount Meeker) is located in that national park.

Good Tuesday morning to sweet LaVonne, our honorable lady of God, the one 'n only, I was out of town for a few days; and when I got back, this lovely message of yours was waiting for me. I thank you for that. You bring joy to my gallery every time you stop by, dear. I wish you could see the winter wonderland I saw this past weekend in Crested Butte, Colorado. The overnight low dipped down to about 10 below zero with roughly 6 feet of snow in many places. You take care, beautiful young lady.
