One of my favourite books has a great bit about Truth, Illusion and the Edge between the two. And the edge of Canyon Matka is the mirror of the water. The mountains reach into the sky, but if you peer down into the water, you can see that the mountains descend into the depths as well – but more about that later.
It was a quiet evening. And the rocks, glorious rocks, dipped into the river and rose out of it, in bends and folds eons in the shaping.

Words fail me!
I want to go there (but in summer, preferably)
Highly, highly recommend. And I am ashamed for those colleagues of mine who told me ‘there is nothing to see’ in Macedonia. I just walked to a Roman aqueduct today. Seriously, nothing to see? If you have the chance, I recommend. The nature is quite stunning.
They are all amazing, especially with those gorgeous rock formations, but the first one is my favourite since it makes the sun appear.
I would go there just for the natural rocks. Roman used rocks are a bonus, however! :D
So much gorgeous folded rock! Lovely photos rq.
Wow! Nothing to see?! Even if you told me all of Macedonia was the sight of that second picture I would consider making the trip there! :D
Seriously, these are amazing. I predict I will be coming back to this post frequently just to look at those glorious bent rocks and their equally glorious reflections.
How incredible. Your photos are absolutely stunning. They make me wish I could go there. I’m so glad you shared them!
The folds, the steep walls and the reflections on the water. While summer is gorgeous, probably, there is so much visibility as there are no leaves on the trees.
The beauty is rugged beauty. In Finnish there is an adjective for this kind of beauty, jylhä, so one could say “Matkan kanjoni on jylhä paikka.” (paikka = place, on = is).
