Monastery – Akdamar Island, Eastern Turkey


The view from this island was amazing...the snow covered mountains framed by the blue of the sky and lake. The island from the mainland didn't look like much. Prior to visiting it, I even wondered why the monastery was built on the island. It seemed like a very inconvenient place to build a monastery. Once visiting the island, I understood why they built it there, the views were spectacular. The monastery is not operative, but when it was, I'm guessing it was an remarkable place to worship.
