While on a trip to Keuka Lake in the Finger Lakes Region of Upstate New York, I took this photo of a Monastery Retreat. It’s on a road that winds its way to the top of the very highest portion of The Bluffs. Along the way we traveled through grape vineyards, wine trails, and forest.

Wouldn’t you like to know more about the history of this gated retreat?

I believe this is an old monestary. I was up at Lake Keuka high on the bluff and took this photo.
