Beautiful view Michael. The colors are so peaceful. The center part looks like a great expanse of white sand with water to the right of it, but probably not. This is the kind of picture that makes your mind try to figure out every little detail. Just gorgeous.

Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States
Sorry I didn't get here yesterday to see this fantastically beautiful scene. I really love these long shots!
I googled Prievidza and see that it is roughly 8km from Cigel and have now found approximately where you are when you are at home. I had wondered how far east you were from Vienna/Wien; now I know.
8 Aug 2008 2:33pm
@Judy: Thanks, Judy. Yes, we are about 250 km from Vienna.
@Marie: Merci, Marie.
