Hiking
I had obviously hiked before....in the Adirondacks, but my first trip to Austria in 2005 completely changed my view of what hiking really meant. We nearly summitted Dachstein, but had to turn back because of poor visibility and s

And....here's my parting shot from the Sumava trip, a proper sunset. Hope you like it. :-)

This is the Josefuv Dul reservior, which is also right in the middle of an area where many people hike, which is why we were there. Getting a look at this impressive bit of "socialist engineering" was worth it as a side trip at least.

Now a restaurant and hotel, this chateau used to be the Presidential Chateau (sometimes considered to be, in reality, a Chalet) of the Czechoslovak Republic, hence the name. Its prior existence, however, was a long time ago, being in the days of President Jan Masaryk, in the 1920s, so it hasn't been used by the President of the Republic in a very long time.

One of the attractions at the Prezidentska Chata is horseback riding, and this is one of their horses. I don't know the breed, though, so that would be a helpful bit of information if you know anything about horses.

This was taken as we hiked onwards from the Prezidentska Chata, hoping to end up back in the Josefuv Dul town centre eventually. Actually, we hiked through several towns, but Josefuv Dul was the focal point.

Here's yet another landscape taken from Bedrichov, although the Hotel Jested doesn't feature in this one.

Here's maybe my favorite landscape from this trip, mainly because I like the composition, even if there are some cars in it. They actually complete the scene, if anything.

Here we were finally getting back down to flatter land, although the Jezerske Hory, the mountain range in the area, are mostly low and rolling anyway. I took this shot at least partly for the sky.

I really liked the way the sun was illuminating the trees, buildings and so on with the sky in this spectacular a state, so I had to get this shot....even if many other photographers on Flickr could beat this easily. :-)

I had to ask a flatmate what this is, but I appears to be a species of clover called a "Jetel Plazivy" in Czech. The nearest thing I could find in Wikipedia in English seemed to be a "Red Clover," but I don't know if that's what this is. In any case, I was more taking the photo for the bees. :-)

Well...there's no snow....but that's not global warming, not this time. We took this hike in June of 2007!

Slovanka is an observation tower in Jezerske Hory, in Liberecky Kraj, that I visited with my travelling companions during our hike. It's not such a spectacular tower, but the views are decent.

The views from Slovanka, while not the most amazing in the Czech Republic, are nevertheless alright. I like the sky in this shot.
