Father, how did you manage to save that image? I ask because there is one which I'd like to use as wallpaper for my desktop, but I can't seem to access the function.
What an amazing view.
In one of the pictures, Fr Mardarios, one of the monks and a former nightclub bouncer, applies his brawn to clearing rocks from a garden 'too many rocks, he grunts like my sins'. Now since my son has recently registered and trained as a bouncer aswell as studying to complete his final year at University I feel hopeful that one day God may call him to serve Him too.
Looks fabulous! What a pity that I never will have any chance to see those wiews by myself -Mother of God being the only woman ever to enter the island :-)
(and even if my nickname in the blogging world is borrowed from Her, it doesn't help much :-D )
Mark - you can grab any image on your screen by pressing the "Print Screen" button which loads the screen image into the clipboard. You then open up Photoshop or any other image editing programme and paste the image in. You can then crop out whatever you want from the screen image.
