Kokino, Megalithic observatory

Well this is my very first post of any kind of "blog things". I've considered to start writing a blog for long time but it was hard to decide for me. So I really don't know how the time will go on, but I'll make a effort to update this thing frequently.
For first post I've choose an interesting place in my country which is, an ancient archeological site and megalithic observatory called Kokino, approximately 35km away from city of Kumanovo (north-eastern Republic of Macedonia), or 70km from the capital city Skopje.
It is near the village Staro Nagoricane on 1030m above the sea level on the Taticev Kamen summit and also essential fact is that American Space Agency NASA, in 2005 ranged Megalithic Observatory Kokino on the 4-th place on the World’s Ancient Observatories list.


I couldn't say that the weather was perfect that day but It wasn't so bad also, we've expected a much more sunny weather with pretty clear and blue sky, that was the forecast for the weather but that's the nature...


There still was a snow, we were pretty surprised from it.


Still going up to the top of this site.




This is on top, there was a lite sun rays passing through the sky so I've captured this imagined like B&W HDR...



After few minutes a little blue of the sky has shown up...



I love this pano-shot, that was a great view, I have a feeling like I'm on the top of the world!!! :)



So as I wasn't alone, we have so much fun with those flashes...



Down through the hill...



Resting place...



It was very cold out there so as the weather was dull we run to go home in a warm car! :)



What should I say more, it was a great experience, great social event :) and great pictures too!
