Hello friends, today we are joining from a very interesting place that I wanted to visit for a long time but I didn't find the time to travel 700 km
This is a temple with a very old and ancient history, which I will explain to you in a moment.
To me personally, it looks more like a castle than a monastery, but I, with my abstract thinking, better not share
The place is quite charming because it is sacred, the monastery itself is built on sacred land that protects people from negative energy.
It is located at 1500 meters above sea level, built above a picturesque village nestled in the mountains
We came a long way to get here so no matter how steep the streets were until we reached our final destination nothing could stop us
And here we have arrived and I can't take pictures and enjoy what I see
To be honest, it's the first time I've seen such a thing, a huge temple in front of which incredible rocks rise and from them you can see even more incredible views.
The season was cool but still warm during the day which helped me a lot to overcome the winds when we climbed to the top of the temple.
As much beauty as these incredible panoramic views offer, there is always a lot of wind when you climb to the top, not to mention if you are afraid of heights
And here, prepare to be amazed by what I was able to capture, although it's not what I saw on ivo, I was able to recreate this one a little beauty.
The height we were at gave us the opportunity to be amazed by the incredible views
It took us about an hour to get to the highest point where we managed to get alone on a rock to get wet like a snake.
I don't know if you have tried it, but I am convinced that whoever tries it will not fail.
Try it after you've done a Teyuk hike and even if you're not just out for a walk.
Stop where you feel most comfortable and lie down for a while on the ground.
The feeling is simply irreplaceable. When we stop and be still for a moment we stop thinking talking doing anything
To be present in the present moment to enjoy what is
.Well, I want to tell you that I enjoyed an hour on the edge of one of these huge rocks
The feeling of peace and tranquility with which the earth will fill you is incomparable
The sun had warmed the stones we were standing on so nicely that we forgot they were stones, we forgot that it was 10 degrees cold there, the weather stopped
Every rock you see was defined by monks centuries ago as a slave, yena, warrior .
The monastery was built by Yen who were nuns
This place protected them from the Muayeti wars when there was an active war around them
The story tells about a nun who fell in love with one of the soldiers named Petko Voivoda
They saw each other secretly from everyone in a hidden place in the forest and spent several nights together
A child was born from their ardent love which could not help but be noticed by the other nuns.
That's why the girl who was no longer a nun but a mother with a child and a husband had to choose the fate that befell her.
Early in the morning, when everyone was sleeping, she decided to end her life by jumping from the highest part of the monastery with the child in her arms.
And her lubim died in the war out of despair at having lost his lyobima and child
Since then, the locals say that the cries of a crying child for its mother can still be heard.
The rocks that somehow saw and drank this teika story remember the burden of pain that a nun had to experience
They say that the souls of this unfulfilled, suffering family are still in the rocks and sobbing
This was the history and beauties that I was able to capture and remember from a visit to this fabulous place
For me, it's not just a matter of photographing an object, but of getting into its soul. What is his story, what did he see and what is his repentance
The more I emotionally touch what I photograph, the better I present it to people who can enjoy it
Enjoy
