Europe - Czech Republic - Czechia - Jižní Morava - South Moravia - Moravské Toskánsko - Moravian Tuscany - Soft rolling, bright green hills during spring time - Slavná Moravská pole behem jara - Ikonická Kaplička sv. Barbory - Iconic Santa Barbara chapel

 

I wanted to return to these now iconic Moravian rolling fields for some time. The timing is very important and it was perfect this year. Amazing weather, wonderfully fresh bright spring green fields and many trees in bloom (not these ones). However I could not express how big my surprise was to find endless crowds of photographers from so many different countries in the middle of those fields. Complete shock to see the power of internet in this previously unknown and unheard location. Luckily you have to shoot with very big zoom lens 95% of the time, so you don't have to capture, and therefore avoid, the crowd you are forced to be part of. Timing is extremely important here, as the landscape that is pure magic of playful light and shadow game about 30 mins after sunrise or before sunset for about an hour, turns completely flat after that.

 

These little chapels are dotted all around the landscape. The history tells us that they were built so the farm workers could worship during the long working days.
