In november 2009 Adam Lum, an American photographer, visited the Holy Mountain. Here are some of his pictures.

This one is called Panagia clouds. An amazing sunrise from Panagia, above the clouds. Panagia is the chapel on the way to the top of Mount Athos at 1500 meters.

And this is his view of Simenos Petras.

See more of his pictures here.
