monastery.

Selime Monastery.

This photo doesn't quite give the context, so I'll describe. After scrambling (vertically) up rocks about 4 or 5 stories, you finally reach this, confirming that I'm out of shape. But soooo worth it. For those archi-nerds out there, the carved dwellings and chapels definitely exemplify the benefits of thermal mass - which I dig of course (I didn't get the nickname "poché queen" for nothing...). And for those who aren't, think cool place when unbearably hot.
