Vekeri-Lake: Black Stork

The morning began with mallards, egrets and grey herons, ...:


... then the black stork flew in:



It gulped a few fish then flew away.

Late Autumn In Bohemian Paradise

At the beginning of November I made a trip in the Bohemian Paradise. I arrived in the afternoon at the rock city of Prachovské Skaly. I didn't have enough time to walk through all the paths but I made a short trip in the rock city:


Next morning I returned to this place having enough time to visit every lookout point and to walk through all the paths:






For the evening I went to the rock city of Hrubá Skála so that I was able to be at the Mariánská lookout early in the morning. I was lucky as the early lights were gorgeous:

After a few days I found myself at this place again however the morning lights were not as good as before. The morning was foggy and I visited curiously the lookout spots again:



On my way home I stopped at the Little Carpathians and climbed on a lookout place from Plavecký Mikuláš to see the sunset:
