Saklikent Canyon, a photo from Mugla, Aegean

Photographer's Note

Whenver being close to Fethiye, a visit at Saklikent Canyon is a must.

40 km away from Fethiye, you either can reach by taxi or dolmus. Total length is about 18 km, up to 300 m cut into the mountain rim.

A really cool place even in hottest summer... But - be aware you have to cross at the entry a strong current of icecold water reaching up to your hips.

Waterproof devices for camera and other valuables is a must - nothing to say about good (strong) shoes to walk in water with.

Guides helping you to pass the difficult places knowing where to step are available.

Important: Do not hesitate to accept help!!

Hello Knut,
This is a first class capture in a difficult light situation. It reminds me of the slot canyons of Utah but with different coloured rocks. The man adds to the composition very well. The exposure and level of sharpness are excellent.
Regards, Ann
