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.

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!
