across the border - Klentnice Photo

Photographer’s Note

Yesterday I returned home from my wonderful trip through out Moravia and South Bohemia. And must say honestly - I'm very tired :) I had made very tight schedule for places to visit, without any resting.

It was only one week and I haven't seen several towns from my carefully prepered (with a little help from my dear friend MarekP) list.

But I have seen quite a lot. I was astonished by the excellent roads, even small byways. I was amazed by the beauty of nature, especially by the landscapes of vineyards and fields of sunflowers. I was enchanted by the beauty of architecture and by the mood of charming towns...

Now, I would like to share some of my hot memories with You. Serie called "Across the border". Let's begin...

This is a view from the village Klentnice, in Moravia region, 4 km from Mikulov. This area is full of vineyards and sunflowers... and has almost mediterranean climat. As I experienced, it is the warmest site in Czech. At the end of that day it was still 30 centigrades.

Over the horizon on the left You can see the monuments of the Holy Hill, which hovers over Mikulov.

Hi Mat,
It seems you had a wonderful, if tiring, trip and if this is any indication of the shots you will present us with, TE members are in for a real treat. This field of flowers is somewhere one wishes to be, to stroll through and lose oneself in an endless walk. The colour and clarity are good, and the DOF allows us to see so far into the frame. I very much like the church and buildings on the distant hill. Very well captured, Mat. Regards.
John

Very nice shot Mat. Good depth thanks to the field in front. Lovely mix of colours and very nice perspective. Lovely detail of the church-village in the background.Very well done!

Wonderful field of sunflowers, and the monuments on the hill add interest to the background, great work.

Oi belíssima foto, eu particularmente adoro tirar fotos de girassois, tenho duas postadas, de uma olhada. Esta ficou excelente, nunca consegui tirar foto de uma grande plantação igual a essa.
Parabéns...

This is really amazing! The field of flowers is great, and I like the way you were able to get in close, but still get the great background. Superb!
