Kasprowy Wierch, Poland

From the Tatra mountain resort of Zakopane, a cable car carries you quickly to the top of this mountain at 1987m (6519ft). As can bee seen here, the weather can be rather mountainous. I only managed a glimpse of these peaks for minutes between heavy mist, rain and cloud. Unfortunately our heavy schedule did not allow me to spend more than an hour or so up here. Although stood in Poland here, we are looking across to Slovakia.

Herb Riddle replied to Keith Burton:

It was quite something to be up there. I would have given anything to get up again some time later when the weather might have been better but it went worse before we set off again for Krakow and the remainder of our holiday in Poland. Glad you enjoyed this one.

Best Wishes, Herb

Those really are spectacular mountains and you have made the most of the break in the weather to catch a very impressive image.

Thanks George. Yes, I guess I was lucky to have this two minute break at least. Glad you like it.

Herb Riddle replied to Peter Castell:

I always did like misty landscapes Peter but over the last few years seem to have caught less and less of them. A compensation here for the rain.

Herb Riddle replied to Ulrich John:

Thanks John, I know that many of the old masters with landscapes, are made because of the way they capture the clouds.
