Matka Canyon is one of the most impressive natural landscapes in North Macedonia. Over thousands of years, the Treska River carved this deep gorge, where steep limestone walls rise almost straight out of the water. Between these towering cliffs it feels as if the world suddenly becomes narrower — and at the same time infinitely larger. Across the water, small kayaks move almost silently through the canyon, carried by the gentle flow of the Treska. It is one of the most beautiful ways to experience Matka: surrounded by rock and silence, with only the rhythm of paddles echoing between the cliffs. Deeper in the heart of the canyon lies the mysterious Vrelo Cave, reachable only by boat. Inside are still pools, hidden chambers, and an underwater depth said to be among the deepest in the world. It is a place that naturally brings silence — as if the canyon invites you to listen to everything concealed beneath the surface. All together, Matka Canyon becomes a landscape where adventure and tranquility meet: paddling through narrow waterways, walking along the cliffs, and discovering how nature has been writing its story here for centuries.
Matka Canyon lies just outside Skopje, where the Treska River winds through steep limestone cliffs. Kayaks glide quietly over the calm water, the sound of paddles echoing between the rocks. Further inside the gorge, the Vrelo Cave awaits — a hidden world of deep pools and silent chambers. It’s a place where nature slows everything down and the canyon tells its own timeless story.
Matka Canyon is één van de indrukwekkendste natuurplekken van Noord-Macedonië. De rivier Treska heeft hier in duizenden jaren een diepe kloof uitgeslepen, waar steile rotswanden bijna recht uit het water omhoog rijzen. Tussen die muren van kalksteen voelt het alsof de wereld plots smaller wordt — en tegelijk oneindig veel groter. Over het water varen kleine kajaks bijna geluidloos door de canyon, gedragen door de rustige stroom van de Treska. Het is een van de mooiste manieren om Matka te ervaren: omringd door rots en stilte, met alleen het ritme van peddels dat door de kloof weerkaatst. Dieper in het hart van de canyon ligt de mysterieuze Vrelo-grot, bereikbaar per boot. Binnen vind je stille waterbassins, verborgen kamers en een onderwaterdiepte waarvan wordt gezegd dat het tot de diepste ter wereld behoort. Het is een plek die even stil maakt — alsof de canyon je uitnodigt om te luisteren naar alles wat onder de oppervlakte verborgen ligt. Alles samen maakt Matka Canyon tot een landschap waarin avontuur en rust samenvallen: varen door smalle watergangen, wandelen langs rotsen en ontdekken hoe natuur hier al eeuwen het verhaal schrijft.

This is the old "SQUERO" in Venice. Squero is a typical Venetian shipyard where small boats such as gondolas, pupparini, sandoli, sciopòni and other boats typical of the Venetian lagoon tradition are created, built and repaired. It dates back to the seventeenth century.

I thought this old log cabin nicely lent a rustic contrast to a fresh bouquet of just picked Sunflowers.
🇬🇧 A frame from another era — Michela at the Trevi Fountain, 1997. Shot in black and white to capture that eternal Roman light that flatters everyone and forgives no one. The crowd fades, the marble watches, and she smiles like she already knows that film never lies — but it can be kind.
🇮🇹 Un fotogramma da un’altra epoca — Michela alla Fontana di Trevi, 1997. Scatto in bianco e nero per cogliere quella luce romana eterna che lusinga tutti e non perdona nessuno. La folla si dissolve, il marmo osserva, e lei sorride come chi sa che la pellicola non mente — ma sa essere gentile.
Not everywhere was being silly about the subject ... a day like this there should have been hundreds of people here...
The galactic core of the milky way passes behind an ancient Bristlecone Pine tree, high in the White Mountains of California. The inhabitants of this section of forest are up to 5,000 years old, silent witnesses to an ever evolving planet.
Yes, that is Jupiter on the left frame edge and Antares on the right. Sky is classified Bortle-2.
This was a whirlwind trip, i drove 7 hours out, met and shot pictures with Miguel for a couple of hours, then drove back home, all in less than 24 hours. Sleep? Nope. Miguel stayed on to complete the adventure. The original plan was to spend the following evening in Death Valley, but I had a very serious issue with my DFA25/4; the rear plate ripped off, sending loose parts to rattle around inside the lens housing. I thought best to cut bait so as not to add further damage, limiting my chances of repairing the lens.
I used my DFA 35mm f/3.5 on the 645Z. Stack of 20, 10sec exposures, median blended using Sequator. I light painted the tree using my LED panel on a stick.
Hope you enjoy this one!
