Hello everyone and hello to the members of the Amazing nature community for the first time. 🙂 This is my entry to the Amazing Nature Contest: Free topic - #1/4/22. I am a nature lover and I am happy to share with you some amazing photos and impressions from Lake Ohrid.
Sometimes in life, we need to stop once in a while or at least slow down. I would never have discovered the beauty of Lake Ohrid if I had not had to take a break on the way to the Greek coast. But it turned out to be a good idea that I decided to take a break in the rush to Greece because if I hadn't stopped, I would never have experienced the slow-motion as in the movie, the unique silence, and the unforgettable touch of nature.
After this accidental visit to the lake, I came back again. Lake Ohrid is one of the largest and deepest lakes in Europe. It's very old. It is partly located in the southwest of Northern Macedonia, and partly in the east of Albania.
When we arrived, the first thing we did was take a deep breath. A few hours spent there lasted like a few days. Everything slowed down. I felt like I was in slow motion. And indeed, the locals have told us that there is no other lifestyle here than the relaxed one, without thinking about what time it is.
"You have enough time. Let the time work for you, and relax." Said one local. Looking at that amazing water could bring nothing but a unique feeling of peace and relaxation.
Water is specific here. I was impressed by the fact that it changes color many times during the day depending on the sun's rays that illuminate it. That is why I decided to share these photos in this community because nature here is truly amazing. Water is very clear and clean, but also quite cold, which is not bad on hot summer days. It is so clean that algae can be seen below the surface of the water, which has many benefits. They are great for skincare among other things.
There are many churches and monasteries on Lake Ohrid, and one of them is the monastery of St. Naum. Due to its attractive location, this monastery has been turned into a tourist museum building.
Nearby are the springs of the river Black Drim, which flows into Lake Ohrid. The water here is so clean that locals say it can be drunk directly from the lake.
In any restaurant, you can eat fresh trout, it is the most common ordered meal.
The winds give a special feeling here. The wind that blows in the morning differs from the one that blows in the evening. You need warmer clothes in the evening, even on summer days.
Nature makes you always feel full of strength, rested, and happy. Do not miss such opportunities, take frequent breaks.
Thank you very much for reading.
The images and writing are original and mine.
Greetings!

Thank you for entering the competition.
Beautiful place. I am fascinated by the purity of the water.
It was a pleasure to participate. The water is amazing and I was most thrilled with the color changes. I tried to photograph all the shades I saw.

Odlične fotografije, Ohridsko jezero je zaista divno mesto za posetu.
Jeste, imala sam utisak kao da sam na moru. Nisam znala da je voda tako lepa.
Congratulations @jelenaa
You really did a great job here.

Even though I have not been there.
The pictures have given me a good imagination in mind.

Wow 🥰
I hope so someday 🤗

This is a beautiful location on earth and I wish I could visit there also. I will like to know how expensive is lake orchid-like cost of sleeping overnight, and transportation if there is any. Is there internet facilities and what's the major source of income for the inhabitant of the lake?
