Natural History Photographs


After our visit to the National Park Galičica, and with two days to go, we decided heading for another national park, Pelister National Park, North-East of the Prespa lake. The tarmac road soon gave way to a dirt road, and after a while Matty decided it was best not to continue, so from there we walked. However, we never managed to get out of the forest, and since the underground was quite acidic, diversity was fairly low and I found this visit rather disappointing.
