Story
In the southeastern part of the Czech Republic in the land Moravia is the landscape formed by fields, vineyards, orchards, small woods and small religion buildings (chapels, crosses) on wavy terrain interwoven by small creeks. The landscape has the informal name Moravian Tuscany. I like to walk through this landscape and take picture in all seasons, especially when the Sun is close to sunset.
In the middle of December me and my husband walked on small ridge and south facing slope viewing wavy valley with a closed high seat for hunters. It had snowed night before but in the sunny day snow melted and the rest of snow remained only in shady places like sugar on a cake. In the afternoon Sun the valley looked like in thin mist and I admired the contrast between the landscape and the high seat. I tried to find the best place for taking pictures connecting the terrain waves with dominating point (high seat) and finally I took several pictures. The best of them I selected for my picture collection. At home I highlighted the contrast among shady and sunlit places using software Zoner Photo Studio ZPS.
