The peaks of the Tazi Canyon in Turkey's Taurus Mountains tower up out of the darkness. With dense pine forests and a veil of mysticism. A powerful landscape, raw and understated at the same time. That's what it feels like when you're up there at the viewpoint. Between the mountain sides, a deep gorge opens up, taking your gaze, into a soft, layered distance.
The sky is heavy, the light subtle so you don't know if the weather will clear up or if there will be more rain.
I'm just thinking about how the weaker weather adds extra cachet to the view, even though you can't see as far. No doubt a clear blue sky will be just as beautiful, but this weather gives it a very different atmosphere. The man next to me interrupts my thoughts by saying just the opposite. That it is such a pity that today of all days the sun is not shining. Tastes differ 😁
