Summer is here but I have some last winter pictures which I made on our trip to Athos in december/january 2014/15
The totally unexpected short snowballfight we had in the courtyard of Gregoriou.
Leaving Gregoriou walking to Dionysiou
Dionysiou in sight.
Arriving a the arsanas of Dionysiou. When we arrived at the monastery I photographed our footsteps in the snow .
The footpath to Nea Skiti when the snow started melting.
When we arrived in Nea Skiti most of the snow was gone. It went as quickly as it came.

Athos - Agion Oros 
Monks believe in miracles. And because snow, rapidly vanishing again, is a wonderful miracle, they appropriately and in the nick of time honour this miraculous phenomenon by playing. Thank you for recording their zeal, mr H. Voogd!
