If there is one place to be these days and stay safe, it's Meteora. You sure would be very distant from social life...
Greece always conjures images of sun soaked islands. True, but some of the most amazing destinations are far from the sea. Meteora is a stunning landscape of fairy tale mountains with ancient temples built upon the stone spires
Meteora in Greece is a group of tall rock formations raising almost vertically above the ground, outside the city of Kalampaka. There were 30 monasteries built in the region, of which only 6 are inhabited today. These have been included in UNESCO’s world heritage monument list since 1988. Taken with a Nikon F4 and Kodak Portra 160.
Meteora, Thessaly, Greece. Beautiful location, and most of the other tourists leave right when the sun sets. Huge mistake ;-)

In Meteora, the earth rises like a stone prayer to the sky. The rocks, carved by time and wind, embrace the monastery that stands proudly on the edge of the cliff. The photograph radiates calm and awe — a moment where nature and faith become one.

Today is a day where I need to feel that Magical Celestial Holiness it gave as you gazed into the sky over its Monasteries. 2020 seems to have an endless pit and we just keep going down. When the F is it gonna turn and bring us some good news.
Meteora exudes an almost otherworldly serenity, as the holy monasteries seem to hover above the immense rocks, bathed in light and enveloped by the wild beauty of the landscape. The contrast between the solidity of the stone and the sense of spiritual uplift creates an image that captivates, as if capturing a moment where nature and human faith meet harmoniously.
Another Milky Way shot from Meteora - Greece. Well that's a special one for me. When we arrived at Meteora with @pphotographia we started the timelapse set up. Panos was preparing the @digislider rails and trying to find the best view angle. I found the opportunity to get a still shot, so I set up my canon with @triggertrap remote control. The sun was barely visible in the west but it's luminosity was still affecting the sky. The Milky Way had already risen and the stars were popping up one by one. I shot at low ISO, about 2000, for 20 sec in order not to get too much overexposed. The result was amazing! Capturing the stars just before total darkness.

If you look well you can see 4 of the 6 orthodox monasteries from this viewpoint, very famous at sunset, but it was cloudy and not a great success when we were there...
