St Achilles
The area of lakes Prespes, in the North-Western borders of Greece, possibly has remained behind of modern development but never of natural beauty...The ruins of St Achilles, a medieval Byzantine church remain there,by the lake, just to bring back memories of an area that flourished during that era.
The photo was taken just before a tempest...The surface of the lake can be seen behind.
(Mamiya AFD 645, Ilford HP5, R and ND filters used.The negative was scanned later).
