Winter with the autumn spritz :) Nikon D4 + Nikkor 14-24/2.8 AF-S G ED What up in the hills looked like Winter, looked still the same Autumn in the deep valleys and gorges, as the snow didn't almost reach there.ĭuring Saturday the sky cleared and on Sunday morning the snow on the trees started to melt quickly so Spring was "finally" here.Īutumn in the deep valley, where the snowstorm didn´t reach. We fell into some kind of photographic frenzy, trying to capture all the unusual beauty around us. And a very special Winter too, because there were still the colorful trees all around. In the morning there was 30 centimetres of a fresh snow, so it felt like Winter. But during the night, the temperature fell rapidly and raining became snowing. The hills were colorful with wide palette of colors, the weather was rather cold and hazy with some rain or drizzling. When we arrived on Friday afternoon, it was Autumn.

This one is very easy accessible, so you don´t really need to walk far. One of the beautiful brooks, Kamenice river. And when there is a fog or even very low clouds, which would normally keep you in the bed, you can enjoy this special weather in the beech forests and create truly unique photographs! But when it is not, you can dive into the valleys and discover the wild yet beautiful brooks and rivers.

For instance in South Moravian region (aka Moravian Tuscany) you will mostly shoot with the telelens only and when the clouds come, you can hide into the wine cellar, because most probably you will not get any decent picture (of the landscape! You can still get some pics in the cellar though).īut Bohemian Switzerland is different! There are many views where you can enjoy sunrises and sunsets when the weather is nice. What I like most about this part of the Czech Republic is the versatility. Of course, this can not be true, as in Europe hardly exists such a place in our time, but the feeling is still there! Nikon D4 + Nikkor 24-70/2.8 G ED Versatile landscape with a versatile weather Overlooking the forests, rocks and peaks, I sometimes get the feeling I am watching places, where nobody set their foot yet. Really an interesting place for landscape photographers! Mark my words!

It is rather a formation of sandstone rocks, a labyrinth of valleys full of deep forests and mysterious brooks and rivers. The mornings you spend up the hill can be really miraculous! Nikon D4 + Nikkor 24-70/2.8 G ED A little bit about itĭon't be mistaken by the word "Mountains" in the name. But honestly - this name confuses a lot of people, as the real Switzerland is hundreds kilometres away. Local landscape simply resembled their own homeland to them. I don't want to bother you too much with the history, but the name Switzerland was given to this region by the romantic painters Anton Graff a Adrian Zingge in the end of the 18th century. Or, if you don't really care about the borders, "Bohemian-Saxon Switzerland", as the main area covers both sides of the border - the German and the Czech one. It is also called "Bohemian Switzerland". A place to go.įor me, in Czech Republic the Elbe Sandstone Mountains represents this.

I am sure every country still has it - a little piece of countryside not many foreigners (and here, of course, I mean "foreign photographers") know about. Elbe Sandstone Mountains - fairytale landscape Feb 26, 2020, in Travel tips
