Photographer's Note
This is the main Ayazini Byzantine Rock Church behind the local Islamic Cemetery dating from the 9th century AD. The previous photo was taken from the door at far right. Taken before the recent vandalism and use of dynamite by tomb robbers.

Hello Chris,
What an amazing rock, the shapes and colours are amazing and they look particularly good in this bright and clear sunlight. A beautiful blue background as well and the white tombstones are well included in the foreground.

Interesting view, good text ...
Nice place and Byzantine Rock Church.
A beautifully shown place and an old Church, a well-captured moment with white clouds in the blue sky.
I wish you all the best in the new month that has begun.

Chris, that church was carved in the rocky face. I see two doors. This historical site should be protected from vandalism. It is surrounded by an old cemetery. Fine colors, good sharpness, regards.

Hi Chris,
Very original old church. Sidelight gives good contrasty appearance, and polarized sky looks great. All those white gravestones seem to be in good condition.

Hello Chris,
I can't help thinking what a good idea this is!
Why quarry the rock into stones, with lots of effort and then rebuild it!
Much quicker to remove the interior of the huge rock, which looks stunning, yet perfectly natural!
Your polarising filter has brought out all the colours and revealed the lumps and curves of the rock in quite beautiful details!
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Chris,
I've the link looked.
You write before the recent vandalism and use of dynamite by tomb robbers.
I known not that this vandalism still existed.
Lovely panorama view with nice depth and perspective.
Taken out of a very nice angle.
Very well done, TFS.
Best regards,
John.

Hello Chris,
A very remarkable place with a church carved into this capriciously eroded rock and the apparently not so old gravestones before it.
Sad to read that mindless vandals have caused vandalism here.
Excellent presentation
Have a good week, groet Rob

Bonjour Chris,
Le cimetière cadre bien l'église. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails de l'église byzantine. La qualité de la lumière embellit les couleurs de l'image. Bonne journée.

Hi Chris
you couldn't have asked for a better back drop for the cemetery, what a scene this is! even the clouds are a great addition too, what more could you want? One of your best scenes in my opinion. I like this one so much. cheers

Hello, Chris!
Interesting and beautiful rocky mountain in the background, and the graves all around help giving very good depth to the image! Perfect light, colors and sharpness! Wonderful place and composition! Well done!

Hello Chris,
It looks like there is a Moslem cemetery in front of it. Nice view. 👍🏻👍🏻

PS. Regarding "Haines Reflections," I noticed the optical illusion after reading your critique. In fact, if you look at the old portion of the breakwater (the part made out of rocks), the illusion is in the opposite direction - the ocean looks higher than the harbor. 😁
