Krkonoše (in Czech; also Karkonosze in Polish, Riesengebirge in German, or the Giant Mountains) is a mountain range located in the north of the Czech Republic and the south-west of Poland, part of the Sudetes mountain system. The Czech-Polish border, which divides the historic regions of Bohemia and Silesia, runs along the main ridge. The highest peak, Sněžka, is the Czech Republic's highest point with an elevation of 1,602 metres.
On both sides of the border, large areas of the mountains are designated national parks (the Krkonoše National Park in the Czech Republic and the Karkonosze National Park in Poland), and these together constitute a cross-border biosphere reserve under the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere Programme. The River Elbe rises within the Krkonoše. The range has a number of major ski resorts, and is a popular destination for tourists engaging in downhill and cross-country skiing, hiking, cycling and other activities.

In these troubled COVID-19 times, me & family somehow managed to buy a weekend house just between Krkonoše and Jizerské hory mountain ranges, Czechia - a place literally in the middle of nowhere, accessible only by 4WD in spring/autumn, and with snowmobile in winter.
These are photographs from its surroundings.

One of three photos taken on my walkabout with Ottavia and Joe on Monday. You can see thee blue skies and absence of snow in Toronto, although it was chilly. A bit of shadow play here as we walked along the paths leading to the Humber Arched Bridge.
Thanks for visiting, I appreciate your comments and faves:)
This tree, illumitared by the autumn sun, looked spectacular. Going in close emphasised the light falling on the trunk and the seasonal colours.
screwing around in photoshop led to this aesthetic like picture

Cosy Home. Vittoria and Bastian snuggle up on their new comfy day bed with a plate of biscotti.
I turned a Barbie bed that came with a canopy into a day bed. It had an ugly purple plastic mattress that I sprayed off white to match the frame and it came with a duvet and pillow in ugly clashing colours so I made some scatter cushions and a throw from scraps that compliment each other with out being too matchy.
