A view across our valley to the town of Prievidza in Slovakia.
There is amazing light in the valley and some drama in the sky. Another gem.

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.

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.

@Judy: Thanks, Judy. Yes, we are about 250 km from Vienna.
@Marie: Merci, Marie.
