Sevanavank Monastery

Armenia, Lake Sevan. Founded in 874AD the monastery sits on a peninsula on this expansive lake, a favoured summer spot for land-locked Armenians. Armenia, as a whole country, converted to Christianity in 301AD, and the Armenian Apostolic Church is still a pillar of this deeply religious society.
It is still used, and is a popular site for worshippers to visit.

Such a wonderful location and a really beautiful monastery. The detail you've captured is fantastic Diana, especially in the roof tiles which have some lovely colour variations.

Your composition is spot on too!

I recommend viewing large!

Fantastic "place", sorry, i dont know how to call it better.
Just arrived home after looking at the tunnels the Romans made in this country to mine gold for three hundred years, not yet convinced we, the actual 8 billion team, were the best option from the Gods of yore.

Lovely place. I really like those old churches. This particular brings memories of Sveti Jovan Kaneo, this church was portrayed in the famous film Before the Rain.
