Photographers Note
This photo was also taken during our summer bike trip.
I've tried to make a travelogue, but don't know how to insert the headline photo's ID. Could anyone help me?
High Tatras or High Tatra (Slovak and Czech: Vysoké Tatry, Polish: Tatry Wysokie, Hungarian: Magas Tátra, German: Hohe Tatra) are a mountain range on the borders between Slovakia and Poland. They are a part of the Eastern Tatras Mountains.
The High Tatras, with their 11 peaks over 2500 m AMSL, are, together with the Southern Carpathians, the only mountain ranges with an Alpine character in the whole 1200 km length of the Carpathian Mountains.
The major part and all the highest peaks of the mountains are situated in Slovakia. The highest peak is Gerlachovský tít at 2,655 m. Many rare and endemic animals and plant species are native to the High Tatras. Large predators, such as the bear, Eurasian lynx, marten, wolf and fox live there.
The area is well known for winter sports. Ski resorts include trbské pleso, Starý Smokovec and Tatranská Lomnica in Slovakia and Zakopane in Poland. The town of Poprad is the gateway to the Slovak Tatra resorts.
The first European cross-border national park was founded here - Tatra National Park - Tatranský národný park in Slovakia in 1948 and Tatrzański Park Narodowy in Poland in 1954.

Szia Marci!
Nekem ugyan szürke helyett sötétkékek azok a hegyek, de így is szépek ezek a nyugalmas sávok, érezni a dimenziókat.

Hi Marci mio,
Now, this is an excellent landscape with wonderful natural light in it. You have at least 4 great layers, sky, clouds, mountains and grass...
Where is the large version??? :))

Szia Marci!
Gyönyörű panoráma, kár, hogy nagyban nem raktad fel. A szürke helyetti sötétkék nálam is játszik, de ez természetes, soxor az én képeimen is ilyen fura színűek a távoli hegyek, ha nagy fényerő-különbséggel kell megbirkóznia a gépnek.
Egyszerűen szép.

Hi Marci,
Visiting your gallery I have discovered this little jewel. Your setting in panoramic format and following the rule of thirds works perfectly to catch the huge beauty of this landscape.
There is a great graphical balance and an excellent work of management of the exposure, and also a great chromatic quality.
It is a magnificent landscape picture.
Friendly regards,
Josep
