The Czech-Moravian Highlands (Ceskomoravska vrchovina), which extend over an area of seven districts, range from the south Bohemian fishponds to the outskirts of the Hana Region.
Everywhere here you can find stones, sweetbrier bushes and fields with potatoes and flax on gently rising and falling hills, which are not very high and which are covered with small low forests.
Due to the fact that this region is one of the best-preserved areas in the country, it is called the green heart of the Czech Republic. This region is a harsh and a beautiful one and is full of change and romance. The unique atmosphere of the scenery has for many years attracted a lot of artists, painters, sculptors, composers and writers.
The region, often known as "Vysocina" (Highlands), is an ideal area for relaxation and recreation.

From time to time, I return to the small city of Přibyslav to enjoy easy-going weekend luckily lacking unavoidable hectic of Prague - here the view shows the city as approached from Dvorek village, in the direction from D1 highway I usually take...
On the way up to Cave Ridge I always have to make a side trip over to the tarn and the views of the mountains on the other side of the South Fork Snoqualmie River. There is a camp site here. What a great place to camp! However, I just used this spot to eat a snack.

Zhejiang University, I'm gonna miss you when I leave in two days time! You have provided me with wonderful photo opportunities and memories in this huge campus of yours. It has been a nice relaxing three month exchange.
The view from my office late in the day. I like looking up 10th Avenue towards Balboa Park and the SAN flight path.

Museum of arts, Gothenburg.
This is the second most elaborate shot I've ever done. It's made with a View camera (large format camera) and it took about 30 minutes to set up. You are not allowed to take pictures inside the museum but Christoffer (a friend from the gothenburg school of photography) and me were able to get a permit after some persistent arguing with the supervisor.
The View camera enables the user to change the position of the focal plane, thus creating a tilt-shift effect. It's very tricky though. The camera is loaded with a single sheet of film prepared in a darkroom. There are no aids in form of measuring light and virtually no help with exposure times either. It's as manual as it gets. By my god it's fun.
This shot has a "normal" focal plane and no tilt-shift effect.
View large on white is essential.

Sunset view from Soda Mountain. Sunrise at Pilot Rock. The Omnibus Public Lands Management Act of 2009, Public Law No. 111-011, Section 1405, designated 24,100 acres of the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument as wilderness. The Soda Mountain Wilderness encompasses the rich biological and geological diversity in the mountains southeast of Ashland, Oregon. The new wilderness lies on the south side of the Medford District. The heart of the wilderness is the 5,720-foot high Boccard Point where the great basin meets three mountain ranges. The older Klamath Range comes up from the south while the much younger Siskiyou Range extends from the west. Jutting up from the north is the very young Cascade Range.
Additional information about the Soda Mountain Wilderness, and all the other BLM Wilderness areas in Oregon/Washington, is available online at:
The view from the top of Temple V. One of the largest pre-Columbian Mayan sites and UNESCO World Heritage Site, Tikal was established in around 400 BC and developed into a major city until it was abandoned by the end of the 10th century.
Despite temples that tower high above the jungle canopy, it was apparently lost and reclaimed by the jungle, where it remained unknown to the outside world until archaeologists rediscovered the site and started mapping it in the 1880s.
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.

I spent a few days in Krkonoše in late October; the first snow at the mountain ridge created unusual combination of frozen grass at the top and autumn colours at the horizon - here the view shows northern part of Krkonoše already located in Poland...
