Mt. Athos Across Rough Waters - a photo on Flickriver

            Mt. Athos is viewed under stormy, cloud-laden skies from a remote shore. In winter, the mountain is snow-capped. Sea waves pound the coastal rocks and salt spray makes the whole shore wet.

Mt. Athos rises to 6,670 ft (2,033 m) and has got very steep cliffs. It is listed in World Heritage sites by UNESCO. It has been regarded as sacred throughout history: In ancient Greece it was Jove’s (Zeus’s) divine mountain; since 800 AD it has been known as “The Holy Mountain,”  where over 2,000 monks live in 20 Eastern Orthodox monasteries (abbeys).
