The beautiful Meteora

here is video of the Meteora, awesome place :)

It’s after one of those rare occasions when earth begins to play games with land and sky that landscapes like Meteora are born. For humans like us the anchoring force of gravity becomes a physical reality when our gaze beholds rocks that reach for the sky, as if pushed from within.

The Meteora rocks look as if they were pushed by giant fingers from deep within the earth to stand straight up from the land around them; an Olympian god playing games? Who knows? Meteora is a visual feast for the soul, connecting in such a majestic way the underground, the earth and the sky that it is not by accident that it was chosen as a major place of worship for monks and nuns who found a place closer to the universe. These monks found atop the suspended rocks a place of meditation created seemingly by metaphysical forces; the kind of forces that earth forges over millions of years.
