This is the final post from Canyon Matka, a couple of views of the dam, and some random items I saw along the way.
As mentioned before, never believe anyone if they tell you there is nothing to see: I was thoroughly impressed with my visit to this canyon, and I would certainly plan to see other parts of the country (especially the mountains!) if I had the chance. Maybe I’m just easily pleased, but the sheer beauty of Macedonian nature – so different from the one up here – is enough to keep me satisfied.

Some mountaintops with a mysterious trail… © rq, all rights reserved.
And that trail leads down to what apparently is locally known as the American Embassy… © rq, all rights reserved.

Maybe he assumed it was too dark for me to take a good photo, but this little feller spent a good ten minutes singing right about my head, giving me a chance to adjust the camera to get at least this one decent shot! © rq, all rights reserved.
Farewell to this adventure, and here’s to the next one!
That mysterious trail looks inviting and so does the ‘embassy’ at the bottom. Also, your web shots are gorgeous. Great quality of light.
A thoroughly enjoyable series, thanks for sharing! I agree with you, this canyon looks impressive and well worth the visit.
I think my favourite is the third shot, but I also love the landscape in the 4th and 5th.
