On a horse and cart ride in the Tatra mountains on a dull, wet day, I took a few images, and this one gives me a good sense of place – the craggy mountains, the snow, trees and typical architecture of the buildings:
A tad oppressive, don’t you think? I would love to see this area in sunny weather!

Oppressive? It looks mystical and alluring to me.
Glad you like it, Josh!
Reminds me of the original Richard Doyle illustrations to John Ruskin’s fairytale ‘The King of the Golden River’, very atmospheric
Don’t know those! Glad you like this one, Chris
Yes very atmospheric 🙂
Thanks, Lynn!
🙂
Love it anyway – but I agree about seeing the place in sunshine!
😊😊
Yes, I think sunshine would lift spirits here – it feels rather hemmed in by darkness
Well, yes, but atmospheric, eh?!
I forgot to ask how you liked the place? That’s a wonderful image xx
I loved it, even in the rain!
It was September when we were there, for a Silver Wedding in the nearby countryside, but we did the tram to the top and had a wander in the sunshine. 🙂
Sounds good, Jo! But at the end of the day, we have to go with whatever weather is thrown at us on our travels!
Of course, and those mountains are majestic, whatever way you look at them. 🙂
I completely agree!
A bit too gloomy for my taste, but very beautiful all the same!
Well, it was a dull day!
I was there in winter and there was sparkling sunshine many days. It’s a spectacular landscape, though, however it’s clad, and your photo says many things about it.
Thanks, Meg! Glad you like it!
Despite the gloom, it is very atmospheric. Especially the mist-shrouded peak.
Best wishes, Pete.
Thanks, Pete…yes, that’s why I liked this image!
Some years ago I heard on the car radio a piece of music by Novak….”In the Tatra Mountains”. It left an image and impression so much so I found the play list and the ordered a CD. It is one of my favourite pieces of music for creating calm and peace. Never been or seen the Tatra for real yet feel an affinity with them ….the power of music 🙂
Oooh, I shall have to look that up!
Typical mountain weather! We have to cope with what the Gods give us…
Certainly do!
It looks very moody here, but I’m glad you liked it anyway. When I stopped in at Telluride, Colorado during my drive along the San Juan Scenic Byway, it was rainy and gloomy and I felt a little depressed. But when I woke the next day, the sunshine put it in a whole different light (literally and figuratively!).
Perhaps I liked it because it was a very sociable horse and cart ride to get there!
That’s a good reason to like a place! 😊
Yes!
Great contest between the misty mountains and the heavy solid architecture with the rows of rough shingles.
Looks like a place that sits back and gets to know you before giving up it’s secrets and enchantments
Solid architecture indeed….but I would love to see it in fair weather….
