Once again I am in the privileged position to show unique images of Athos. This time my much appreciated friend Monk T made drone images of the well-known monastery Vatopedi, where I stayed for a week with my friends from the FoMA in September 2022. But this in not all, because Monk T also made very unique aerial shots of the Kolitsou tower, never shown before on the internet. In post 1996 of this weblog I showed you the pictures of my visit to this tower in 2018.

Thanks again to Monk T for being so helpful, so we can post this unique material (and I have more (drone) content from him, so you can expect more videos in the near future!)
