Bellapais - Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus

Bellapais is a pretty village set high in the Five Finger Mountains located in Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. It is about four miles from the town of Kyrenia. The village was the home for some years to famous British author Lawrence Durrell, who wrote about life in Cyprus in his book Bitter Lemons.

Its most famous site is the Bellapais Monastery, sometimes called as the Bellapais Abbey, built by monks of the Premonstratensian order in the 13th century. It is a fine example of Gothic architecture of the Lusignan Period.

Fairhill series 1 - The Horses

I met with my photo buddies at 5:30 a.m. at Fairhill Equestrian Center for the early morning shoot. What a glorious morning it was. The sunrise with its golden light, the morning dew. . . and the horses. . . the nature itself. . . I thought I was in heaven. I have to admit waking up at 4:00 a.m. was hard but totally worth the effort. I have done this before, I woke up at the crack of dawn to shoot so I knew what could be waiting for me. Once I made to the meet-up point, the scenery left no room for regret. I was mesmerized.
