Matka Canyon reveals a place of silence here, directly beside the monastery Saint Nicholas Šiševski. This simple wooden pavilion forms a natural transition between the monastery and the gorge — a place to pause, to look, and to rest. Kanitha sits here for a moment, leaning against the wood, before we begin the descent back down. The pavilion feels like an extension of the monastery itself and may once have served as a resting place for monks: sheltered from sun and wind, with views over the deep canyon and the Treska River cutting far below through the landscape. No decoration, no distraction — only wood, shade and silence. From here, you can see how the gorge slowly opens, how light and shadow drift across the rock walls, and how distant the world below seems. The silence is almost tangible. It is a place where nothing is required — just sitting, breathing, and looking. That is precisely what makes this spot so fitting within the landscape of Matka — simple, secluded, and fully in harmony with nature.
Resting at a wooden pavilion beside Saint Nicholas Šiševski Monastery, overlooking the deep gorge of Matka Canyon. A quiet pause above the Treska River, where wood, light, and silence come together before the descent back down.
Matka Canyon onthult hier een plek van stilte, direct bij het klooster Saint Nicholas Šiševski. Dit eenvoudige houten paviljoen vormt een natuurlijke overgang tussen het klooster en de kloof — een plek om te pauzeren, te kijken en tot rust te komen. Kanitha neemt hier even plaats, leunend tegen het hout, voordat we aan de afdaling terug naar beneden beginnen. Het paviljoen voelt als een verlengstuk van het klooster zelf en diende het ooit als rustplek voor monniken: beschut tegen zon en wind, met uitzicht over de diepe canyon en de rivier Treska die ver beneden door het landschap snijdt. Geen versiering, geen afleiding — alleen hout, schaduw en stilte. Vanaf hier zie je hoe de kloof zich langzaam opent, hoe licht en schaduw over de rotswanden schuiven en hoe ver de wereld beneden lijkt. De stilte is bijna tastbaar. Het is een plek waar niets hoeft: even zitten, ademhalen en kijken. Precies dat maakt deze plek zo passend in het landschap van Matka — eenvoudig, afgezonderd en volledig in harmonie met de natuur.
It's a windy night
Of first and main
Of any city
Of a hundred names
Spirits fly high and the sparks fly low
And the cats are all creeping out the back door slow
And the cats are out, gonna harmonize
They're headed for Cool Street on the main line
And here comes that Joe Serpentine
The life of a cat can leave you far behind ...
(Cats whithout claws )
In the 1270's, the Mogollon People built these elaborate stone-walled structures in caves above cliff dweller creek. By the year 1300, the entire community abandoned this location and mysteriously vanished into history. It's likely they dispersed across the four corners region, possibly assimilating into other tribes.

Hotel Añaza is the abandoned structure of a hotel or apartment block near Santa Cruz de Tenerife, in the Canary Islands.

Boasting 35 hectares of greenery and 3,000 m² of ecological gardens promoting biodiversity, the Parc de la Villette is one of the largest and loveliest green spaces in Paris. A multi-disciplinary arts and culture venue, it attracts more than 10 million visitors each year.
With 26 bright red ‘follies’ – architectural structures designed by Bernard Tschumi – dotting the landscape (each devoted to a different cultural or leisure activity), the Parc de la Villette is one vast playground for Paris lovers.
