The Monastery of New Valamo 
8th-Nov-2009 09:59 pm
I spent the weekend in the eastern Finland with my niece and her father. My niece started studying in the University of Joensuu this autumn. On Saturday, we decided to visit the Monastery of New Valamo. On Friday when we arrived to Joensuu, the ground was snowless but when we woke up (quite late) on Saturday, we had snow on the ground. Not much but anyway. The monastery's graveyard pictures posted on here.

This is one of the most beautiful sets of photos you've posted! What a lovely place and you've captured it so well. Makes me wish I could be there for a little while. It looks so peaceful.
