This is majestic. Thank you for taking the time to document and share your experience. It really is amazing how nature can slowly make art like that, which looks like it was designed. Some of those formations look like statues. And some look like... other things. It is also truly amazing that it takes 100 years for just one centimeter to form! Nature is patient.
I had to look up the names you mentioned to realize this is beautiful Greece (unless I am mistaken). I have always wanted to go to Greece, but have not yet had the privilege.
I am not fully physically mobile, so it is very lovely to have a window into places that would be challenging for me to physically visit. I enjoy online museums and that sort of thing, but this is special because it is unique and not easy to access online.
I imagine you have to strike a balance between taking amazing photos and video for those of us who can't go and being in the moment, just soaking in the magnificence of it all. Thanks again. So many beautiful photos!
(Maybe you had already considered this, but, there are magazines that accept and welcome photo submissions. I am thinking of National Geographic, but there are many others also. I don't know whether that is something that would interest you. They used to be listed in the Writer's Market guide, which was a book published yearly and then available by online subscription. I have not looked into this for a while.)
It really pays back to read comments like yours - every time I explore a place I feel the eyes of my readers behind me :) It's so true that keeping a balance between recording and enjoying the place can be a challenge. Especially in this case as I was escorted by a guide (I didn't book him that's how the cave works) so I also had to keep a balance in listening to him and not delaying the tour too much for my photos and videos. I have developed a good ability to get decent images on first shot which also serves the purpose of not spending time in deleting the bad ones later. The vast majority of the images in my posts are 1st shot. Few but good is my approach but some places are so exceptional that no amount of pictures can be "enough".
Thank you for stopping by!
Well, they are amazing photos, and even more so if they are a first shot. I think magazines might really be interested in several of them, but I could be wrong. Then again, these days, it doesn't cost much to find out. When I was younger, we had to send a self-addressed, stamped envelope with every submission of writing to every magazine, and, since most replies tend to be rejections, the proposition gets costly. (I did get a few publication credits, though, so if your heart can handle the rejection, it can be worthwhile.)
On the other hand you have done very well just posting here! It's amazing. Well done.

Thanks once again. Most of them are totally unedited too.
Hope you will also like my latest harvest that I posted yesterday.
