    It looks very inviting but that is quite the uneven path; I would probably sprain an ankle! :D Where does it lead? I do love those clouds!

    Thanks, Eia. I mentioned that it is very old...:D
    It leads to the ruins of a nice monastery (the red point in the background is actually part of its roof).

    I think it's awesome. I love ancient pathways. So much history there. So many people who changed the world and made it what it is today walked those paths and we don't even know their names.

    Did you take pictures of the monastery as well? I'd love to see them.

    Very cool. I actually like the cloudy look. Makes it look eerie. The roof looks new. They must be maintaining it so it doesn't crumble to dirt. They should, it has some amazing and lost architecture.

    Beautiful - and I noticed how new the roof looks too! :) What stories it must hold!
