In the summer, the sun rises far to the north. The first rays of sunlight shine on the valley above the hesychasterion of Saints Galakteon and Episteme. A grackle perches on top of the highest cross of the bell tower.

Lovely picture
Thanks Father Justin
How much of a temperature change is there from dawn to the peak of the day? Beautiful photo, Father Justin, as always
I see that temperatures now range from a high of 91 in the day to 66 at night, a difference of 25 degrees Fahrenheit. The monastery is located at an elevation of 5,203 feet. Because of the altitude, temperatures even in August rarely exceed the mid-90s. And because there is so little humidity, as soon as the sun sets, temperatures drop, so that evenings and early mornings are pleasant.
Fascinating! Thank you for your blog and these photographs. I can only hope to one day visit and experience this incredible place!
