Description

Rock Towers of Meteora Greece B/W photography by Daliana Pacuraru

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.

How did the Meteora form? Why do they look so out of sorts with the surroundings, and unlike any other landscape we are familiar with? I would not want to destroy the mystery (not that I could), but finding out the reason for the landscapes� form is a bit like explaining to children that clouds are really not swans and horses or dragons, but simply clusters of moisture droplets suspended in the atmosphere. The Meteora story is so layered with meaning however, that there is no danger of loosing the magic in explanations. greeklandscapes.com
