The first five pictures were taken at Studenica monastery in Serbia. Studenica and Žiča are medieval monasteries located in Serbia's "valley of the kings." Žiča, easily recognized by its unusual red color is near the town of Kraljevo. These monasteries are located in spectacular locations, display beautiful stone and brick work and are decorated with frescoes in various states of preservation (photography is not allowed inside).
On this blog, I'll mostly post pictures taken during my travels. Occasionally, I will post notes on one of my passions: books. Sur ce blog, il y a surtout des photos prises au cours de mes voyages. A l'occasion, j'y parlerai aussi d'une de mes passions: les livres.
