Nearby Gacko there is beautiful canyon of little river Gracanica, better known as Bovan. I like to take my friends there and show them that beauty. And as last reminder of civilization, before entering deeper in canyon, is this mysterious stone ruin of house on cliff. It is almost impossible to approach it by normal means. Such placement of any building in Herzegovina (except few forts) is unique. Who build that there? Why? When? I would really like to know it's secrets...

Location
Nearby little industrial town Gacko, there is small river Gra?anica, making it's way through rocky hills of Hercegovina. Beautiful small canyon, where I spent countless hours exploring with my friends. On the picture you can see entrance, with little waterfall, where many people come to cool off hot summer days. After that, if you dare, is real challenge...Time
Only way to fully enjoy this place is if you come here early in the morning. After 15 o'clock canyon become very cold and dark, even in the middle of summer. I took this photo around 9 AM, 22. august, 2014.Lighting
Day was cloudy, and I just had to wait for right amount of light for perfect reflection.Equipment
Just Olympus VR-310.Inspiration
See that little house ruin on cliff? I often wandered who built it and why. I asked many, but no one knows. It is imposible to get near it on foot. And in combination with this perfect reflection, and straight line of little waterfall, which cuts through hills behind almost unnaturally, who would resist not to take a shoot?Editing
I merged two .jpeg files (same scene, continous shoot), and intesified contrast, so reflection can be expressed better.In my camera bag
Currently I have only Olympus VR-310, but I am looking for better equipment, especially when it comes to shooting night sky and landscapes.Feedback
Knowing weather characteristics is very important. When I took this photo I was very lucky. But now I know much more, and how important it is to predict weather conditions. Whenever you see strange cloud formations, take a camera and get in the open field. Be patient and you will learn about lightning much more than anyone can teach you. And yes, about perfect reflection - shallow clean water, cloudy day, and camera just a little above water for better effect.
