Lost Worlds along the Lycian Way

In South-West Turkey, where the mountains meet the blue waters of Mediterranean sea, runs the Lycian path, winding through valleys, climbing to passes and stretching away for hundreds of kilometres. Along this path are layers upon layers of lost civilisations: Greek, Roman, Byzantine and before these, the old tombs and fortified settlements of the Lycians. The predominantly Southern wind comes from over sea, climbs against the cliffs and mountains, brings coolness, condenses into mist and an occasional thunder storm, rendering the scenery even more fleeting, as if all flows and changes with time.

We walked only a section of the Lycian way bringing a Canon 60D with a short-range zoom (15-85mm) and a 70-200mm zoom with 1.5 extender for the long-range. When the going got rough, I preferred the smaller and much lighter GPS-enabled Lumix TZ-10, with its crisp Leica lens. The images were post-processed in Aperture and Silver Efex Pro to better capture the almost tangible sphere of eroding time.

I hope you will enjoy this photographic journey – Filip.
