A view from inside the rock cave of the Chelter-Marmara complex onto the vast expanses of Crimea. The uneven stone window seems to frame the landscape: green hills, forests and valleys stretch into the distance, and the sky is covered with dramatic clouds. The contrast between the harsh darkness of the stone and the rich natural palette outside the window creates the effect of deep silence and concentration. A similar view could be observed by the monks who lived here in solitude and prayer.
