The Tatra Mountains - early summer trip.

Last weekend we were visiting our beloved mountains - Tatras. The weather was pretty good, although there were storms everyday at noon so we had to start our trips really early in the morning. We certainly relaxed there, as usual, as it is a perfect place for taking a deep breath and chilling out.

Have a nice Sunday, everyone:)

Tatras

Today I would like to come back to our holidays. The weather was beautiful today so I started to think about this beautiful summer we had here in Poland this year. It was pretty hot and sometimes we were fed up with it, but it was still summer:)

But now, the Tatra mountains... I wish I was there now...

In a different forest...

I haven't had much time for writing a post lately. So now, between cleaning windows and ironing, I'm going to show you some photos I have taken in Slovakia. This beautiful forest is located near Vrbickie Pleso (Pleso = Lake). I will show you this lake in a different post. Anyway, the forest is amasing, it's full of moss-covered trees and mushrooms. It's a beautiful place, worth visiting:)

Two busy weeks...

I've been trying to write something for the last two weeks. Unfortunately, there are such periods in a teacher's life that she (or he) has no time for anything. The beginning of a new school year was very stressful for me. I think that's why I'm sick now - my immunity was weakened. I didn't have much free time to look through your new posts, my dear readers, but I'm going to check them out this week as I've got a few days off.

What I want to show you today are two panoramas from Tatras. Both were taken in the Chochołowska Valley. I love this valley for beautiful views and the fact that there is a possibility of renting a bike. I'm joking now... but I'm going to use it the next time I'll be there as the trail is very long. Thanks to the bikes you can save your strength and visit nearby peaks.

Waterfalls in Tatras

There are many big waterfalls in Tatras like "Wodogrzmoty Mickiewicza" but no one menstions these small ones. I decided to take some photos of these small, unknown waterfalls.

Another lake:)

This lake is called "Gąsienicowy". It is not one of the five lakes from my previous posts. It's a separate place, also beautiful, located in the Tatra Mountains.

I'm having trouble with colours and brightness on my computer lately. I don't know how to adjust the brightness of some photos in PS. Ysterday I was checking my blog on my parents' computer and it turned out that they are far too dark - sometimes I couldn't even believe that these are the same photos I was working with last week. Now I don't know if they are too dark? My computer may give me a false image. What do You think of the brightness in my photos, especially the last panoramas. Do they look unnatural?

The valley of Five Polish Lakes - part two.

The first photo is from 2008 and the next two are from our last trip. My husband is working on my 360° panorama from this valley. I will publish it as soon as possible - I can't wait:)

The Valley of Five Polish Lakes - part one.

As You know our last trip to Slovakia wasn't successful due to the rainy weather. That's why we decided to go to The Tatra Mountains. We packed ourselves up and went without even having a place to stay there. The weather was beautiful (it's very rare in Tatras) and we longed for hiking very much.

The first collectiona of photos, mostly panoramas, were taken in The Valley of Five Polish Lakes. It is withought doubt the most beautiful place in Poland.

The Beskidy Mountains.

FINALLY! The weather I love. It's sunny, hot and it is not raining! I couldn't wait to visit my beloved mountains so we went to Beskidy last weekend.


Some mushrooms we've found on our way.

There is Skrzyczne on the left and Slovak Fatra in the background on the right.

The Fatra Mountains.

As we've got a beautiful autumn this year, we've decided to visit the Fatra Mountains in Slovakia. This is a view from the mountain called Malý Kriváň.

Memories...

Another part of my memories from the trip to the Alps. The views were breathtaking. Although, I wish I were my brother who has climbed Mont Blanc a few days ago. After looking at his photos I felt like I didn't really see much in the Alps. Anyway... nothing's lost. There will be another summer in (God save me) nine months...

Sometimes one photo isn't enough.

This post is going to present you my first experiences with making panorama pictures. You must know that mountains are my favourite objects to take pictures of. And I'm sure that most of you will agree that it's almost impossible to show a magnificent and giant mountain landscape taking only one picture. There's always a piece of land that you aren't able to place in the photo. That's why I decided that our trip to the Alps was the best opportunity to try it. These are the pictures I've managed to take...

And now a little curiosity... I've managed to join 5 photos into one panorama picture... Don't hesitate to write your opinions;)
