This is brother Dometios. I met him at the Agia Triada (Holy Trinity) Monastery, Meteora, Greece. We talked a lot, he is a very interesting man, a peaceful, relaxed personality, seems happy with his life, confident about the road he has chosen. He has climbed almost every rock of Meteora. He gave me important directions for "secret" footpaths of Meteora. He showed great interest about my camera and photography in general. He gave me permission to take a couple of photos. Brother Dometios, lives in Agia Triada Monastery, for the last 20 years, since he was 23 y/o. It will always remain a mystery to me, how a young man, takes such decision while the flame of youth is burning high and wild. Denying all earthly pleasures, "denying" curr...

Sakai mon from the japanese shogunate. The mon is an emblem to designate a family, clan or even an organization. The kamon is used specifically to identify a family. The mon is similar to the coat of arms from European heraldic tradition. Although, there is a big difference, the mon stays clean and minimalistic in design. European crests tend to get very complicated by combining other family crests over the generations. Mon and Kamon are usually designed using a roundel containing a abstracted, stylized image of an object. This object can be a plant, an animal, a tool, or anything you fancy. This will lead to a large amount of categories containg many variations of aparticular object. Although we end up with thousends of mon, du...

If the aisles are high and of a width comparable to the central nave, the structure is sometimes said to have three n...
