A little more Greece...

The first picture is of a stray kitty at the Temple of Athena in Delphi. Then there's a cloud shot I took in Crete (I love those clouds shots!) :) The last four are from an area in Greece called Meteora. It's known for the Greek Orthodox monasteries on top of the amazing rock towers. Today they have bridges and such to get to the monasteries, but back when they were built they were using pullies with big baskets to pull up the material and people.

The first monastery shown below is where the final scenes of the James Bond film, For Your Eyes Only, was filmed.

Crazy monks building giant monasteries on the top of poles...well close enough.
