Mount Athos, Greece

Honey made where the mountain meets the sea.

A visual record of honey made on Mount Athos by local monks.

A quiet practice of place, attention, and the work of the hands.

This is honey made on Mount Athos by local monks. Here, the landscape is part of the frame: stone underfoot, gardens and terraces above the water, and a pace that asks to be noticed.

The mountain keeps its own scale.

Sea light, steep ground and old paths shape the view. The story begins here, in a landscape that moves from cypress and olive terraces toward the open water.

The work, close up.

Honeycomb, a slow pour, a clear stream, jars waiting to be filled. These are moments from the making, kept simple and seen as they are.
