Vikos
Greece, Zagoria, Vikos, april 30, 2005. Panorama with a view into the Vikos gorge. Onnoot is still trying to think of the best way to photograph this gorge.
Some years ago Onnoot walked below the red spot. The red spot is a scar where once a part of Tymfi collapsed. You can see the remains below. Quite voilent it must have been...
To give an idea of the scale: the difference in height on this photo is 800 meter; the red spot is 200 meter high; a human being would be 1 pixel high. From Vikos we saw three dots moving along a thin line: hikers. 75mm proved a too short focal length to capture them.
The Vikos gorge. The difference in height here is about 1000 meter. That is more than the twin towers on top of each other. It is more than six times the Amsterdam Rembrandt tower. The photo is 332 pixels high, so 1 pixel is about 3 meter. Down below is the river Voidhomatis.
When I turned around, I saw this man butchering an animal for easter.
This is the view from the other side of Vikos. In such a remote place communication is important, hence the collection of antennas.
