czerwone Wierchy, a photo from Malopolskie, East

Photographer's Note

My favorite themes - the Tatras and a short trip.

The massif of Czerwone Wierchy is made up of three summits at around 2,100m each - Krzesanica at 2,122m, Małołączniak and Ciemniak at 2,096m each and Kopa Kondracka at 2,005m.

The name Czerwony Wierch (singular) was originally used for Małołączniak whereas today Czerwone Wierchy (plural) is the name of the four-summit massif between the Dolina Kościeliska in the west and Tomanowa Przełęcz/Tomanovské sedlo (1686m) in the southwest, and two passes north and east of Kopa Kondracka in the east.

All the red in the toponyms here, albeit indirectly, is connected with the rock type. But this time the colour does not indicate the usual suspect, the rusty iron compounds, despite iron ore having been mined in the sides of the massif a couple of centuries ago. On the limestone and dolomite rocks that form the bulk of the Red Peaks lies a granitoid, acidic cap of Małołączniak, which yields poor soil, only good enough for some hardy grasses, such as highland rush and the endemic Oreochloa disticha, which turn red easily and early, already in July - summitpost.org.

Hello Piotr,
This is the kind of photos you handle the most supremely. The nearest grassy hills are nicely shaped and show clearly where generations of hikers have climbed to the peaks. It looks like there are people standing on both peaks, or could it be something else? Even more than the beauty of the hills this photo is characterized by a fantastic light shining through the haze and painting beautifully warm tones on the second hill and also on the top of the nearest one. It's a quite stunning photo.
Kind regards,
Gert

cześć Piotrze,

A Ty znowu w Tatrach! a może tam chcesz gdzieś zamieszkać, żeby mieć blisko w ukochane góry? fantastyczny widok, bardzo zachęcający do wędrówki. i tam bym mogła jeszcze trochę powędrować, bo bajeczne widoki i nie ma przepaści. Czy ja się tam kiedyś w końcu wybiorę?? Cudne zdjęcie, już widać trochę tego czerwonego koloru. I widać tez słupki graniczne.

Pozdrawiam Małgorzata

Wspaniale ujecie tego pieknego krajobrazu, kiedy slonce oswietlalo jedna z gor. Ciekawie wyglada powierzchnia tych "garbow" poorana sciezkami, a ludzie swietnie umieszczeni w kadrze.
Dzieki za wyjasnienie nazwy, rzeczywiscie juz w sierpniu kolor jest czerwony.
Pozdrawiam
Kasia

Hi Piotr

I like the way the light fog is acting up on the composition. The point of view is showing the details of the mountains. The light is giving nice tints to the colors. Have a nice day.

Olá, Piotr!

Foto incrível, a luz sobre o segundo monte é divina! O fundo com a cadeia de montanhas também é bonito. A nitidez também é excelente. Essa trilha é um detalhe interessante.
Bela foto!

Trails to the high summits leading the viewer upon, Piotr.
The two figures gave good indication to distances and scale, and the mist added nice mysterious effect.
Have a nice new day,
Ike

Hello Piotr,
What a wonderful landscape. I really like the contrast between the cloudy and darker parts and the sunny and much more colourful slopes. Good composition and I like the inclusion of the people.

Hi Piotr
Beautiful and barren looking, I can imagine how wonderful this scene must have looked in front of you, and their majesty is awe inspiring. I love how you have used the light here to bring out some great natural colours, shade and soft shadow. Well seen nature beauty so pleasingly capture, Congrats
Best wishes

Hello Piotr,
The kind of picture we're used to see from you. High mountains with small trails to hike.
The weather wasn't ideal for clear views. Yet we get a good impression of the landscape with the successive ridges.
Good scale is added by the hikers.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Piotr,
You are showing us a nice view of these rugged chain of summits. I like the play between light and shade.
