Morgabriel
Southeast of Midyat ( Turkey ), the monastery of Mar Gabriel is the geographical and spiritual centre of the plateau, and - if darkness is approaching - also the safest place of refuge in the area. To get there, leave Midyat on the half-paved, half-gravel Cizre-bound road; after 20 km, just before an unmarked village, turn northeast onto a similarly unsign-posted dirt driveway, which leads to the monastery gate in just over 2 km.

Mood is darkly tranquil, the rays flinging hope's brightness softly into the peaceful shadows. Lovely comp, powerful and spiritually strong. The lone figure sits in solitary silence amidst the safety of the magnificent structure. Great shot, great story, and wonderful that you provided directions to reach a harbor of peace.
