Two Days In Zemplén Mountains

I spent two days in Zemplén mountains the other weekend.

On first day afternoon I started from Középhuta towards Sólyom-bérc and I intended to spend the evening under the starry sky.

At sunset I can see the silhouette of the Regéc castle from Sólyom-bérc:

As soon as the sun goes down I can hear the voice of an eagle owl nearby. After sunset I have to wait for the stars to appear. One can see only on the 30 seconds exposure photo that the sun still has some lights on the horizon:

The starry Mlaka meadow:

It takes about one hour from here to get back to the car but walking through the night forest wich is full of life is a great experience. Though I can only hear sounds but the fallen leaves are rattling very often around under the feet of animals of different sizes.
Next day I set off towards Újhuta. Leaving the village behind I park the car in front of a barrier. From here I go on walking:

I take my way to Kerek-kő, unfortunately the light conditions are not very good there.
Next day I start early in the morning, I don't know yet exactly my destination, I'll see...
I try to record the hazy forest:

The morning sunshine has a good effect on the hazy air:

Getting higher the mist disappears, however there is still some haze in the valley:

After crossing the Mlaka meadow I get to the Sólyom-bérc again having a try here but it's not what I expected.
Getting back to the car I catch sight of a salamander! I manage to take a few shots of it before I start home:
