Suddenly you have forgotten how much I love the Carpathian Mountains. This is heartbreakingly beautiful! I live an hour away from them and I can grab a backpack with a tent at any time and go for a couple of days from humanity and get a billion impressions. Less words, more pictures. I will share […]

Have you ever chased the fog? To take him by surprise, I had to climb the mountain range twice. The morning fog, which seemed to have tightly enveloped the slopes of the peaks during the night, melted and dissipated with the first rays of the sun, slipping away into the valley like a white river. The […]

Quarantine was announced, and through this damn isolation it has already reached the condition and began to decompose morally. Therefore, I will share something beautiful and optimistic – photographs of mountains. Posting photos in a post can cause you psychological discomfort, exacerbate the syndrome of lack of mountains in the body. Possible side effects are […]

The idea of ​​doing a naked photo shoot in the mountains will make a person even with arthritis climb with a backpack, break out in seventh sweat, endure the scorching sun and rubbing his boot. When you climb up the slope, loaded with photographic equipment, because of which you sacrificed food, trying to catch a […]

In order to show you the beauty of the winter Carpathians, I had to put on 5 pairs of trousers and 6 jackets, trample ten kilometers of freshly fallen snow and eat several packs of mivina. And I brought photos of the snowy Carpathian Mountains on 2 memory cards of 16 gigabytes each, and I […]

There is a cool kolyba with a Chinese tapestry in the Ukrainian Carpathians under Mount Turkul where at the Last Supper there are 9 apostles and one woman. If you look closely, you can see Chinese noodles on their table. Kolyba is a place where shepherds spend the night, they graze sheep on mountain pastures […]

I decided to meet the beginning of May in one of the most picturesque places in the Carpathians – on the Marmara Range. As for me, this is the best time to hike these mountains, you can see with your own eyes how winter smoothly turns into spring – crocuses bloom right next to the […]

Camping gear! Favorite theme of all tourists and their sympathizers. Still, those dark times have passed when they went on a hike in worn-out sneakers, one windbreaker, with a canvas tent, a Druzhba saw and an enameled bucket. Fortunately, now modern tourist clothing is membrane, everything is lightweight and high-strength. And the outcome of the […]

The Great Allo Lake can be described at length by describing in all the colors of the RGB color model its crystal clear water with a rich turquoise color. And it is better to see once, because words are limited, emotions and feelings are difficult to describe. We had a day, or rather almost 2 […]

Black and white photographs of the Carpathians

Black and white photographs of the Carpathians

Suddenly you have forgotten how much I love the Carpathian Mountains. This is heartbreakingly beautiful! I live an hour away from them and I can grab a backpack with a tent at any time and go for a couple of days from humanity and get a billion impressions. Less words, more pictures. I will share with you a series of black and white photographs of my beloved Carpathians.

Autumn fogs in the Carpathian mountains

К

Have you ever chased the fog? To take him by surprise, I had to climb the mountain range twice. The morning fog, which seemed to have tightly enveloped the slopes of the peaks during the night, melted and dissipated with the first rays of the sun, slipping away into the valley like a white river.

Mountain sickness during quarantine

Quarantine was announced, and through this damn isolation it has already reached the condition and began to decompose morally. Therefore, I will share something beautiful and optimistic - photographs of mountains. Posting photos in a post can cause you psychological discomfort, exacerbate the syndrome of lack of mountains in the body. Possible side effects are complete relaxation. Viewing is prohibited for those who have not been on vacation for a long time.

Winter trip to the Chornohora

Winter trip to the Chornohora

In order to show you the beauty of the winter Carpathians, I had to put on 5 pairs of trousers and 6 jackets, trample ten kilometers of freshly fallen snow and eat several packs of mivina. And I brought photos of the snowy Carpathian Mountains on 2 memory cards of 16 gigabytes each, and I don’t even know how to start and which ones to show you first - I will make a separate photo essay. The winter trip was held under the slogan "break into the mountains and reboot!".

The Last Supper near Turkul

Kolyba Turkul

There is a cool kolyba with a Chinese tapestry in the Ukrainian Carpathians under Mount Turkul where at the Last Supper there are 9 apostles and one woman. If you look closely, you can see Chinese noodles on their table. Kolyba is a place where shepherds spend the night, they graze sheep on mountain pastures and meadows in the summer. In simpler kolybas, tourists stop for the night. This is a real luxury in the mountains. We were doubly lucky, we spent the night in a shepherd's kolyba which is not intended for tourists. When you are tired after a day's hike and see this kolyba, you rush to it with all your might even without strength. It was the coolest photo shoot ever. In the morning we ran out for the whole day, took photos and dried ourselves in warmth and comfort in the evening.

Marmarosh Range, or Hutsul Alps

Hutsul Alps

I decided to meet the beginning of May in one of the most picturesque places in the Carpathians - on the Marmara Range. As for me, this is the best time to hike these mountains, you can see with your own eyes how winter smoothly turns into spring - crocuses bloom right next to the snow drifts. For the beautiful slopes and diversity of nature, this mountainous part of the Carpathians is called the Hutsul Alps.

What do you have in your travel backpack?

travel backpack

Camping gear! Favorite theme of all tourists and their sympathizers. Still, those dark times have passed when they went on a hike in worn-out sneakers, one windbreaker, with a canvas tent, a Druzhba saw and an enameled bucket. Fortunately, now modern tourist clothing is membrane, everything is lightweight and high-strength. And the outcome of the trip largely depends on how competently the tourist’s things are selected and equipped. Although getting ready for a hike is not as easy as it might seem at first glance. There is always little space in a backpack, it is worth its weight in gold, you should not fill it with unnecessary things. Oh gods, who are you listening to? My photographic equipment steadily takes its weighty 4-5 kg.

Night photography on the Great Allo Lake

Night photography on the Great Allo Lake

The Great Allo Lake can be described at length by describing in all the colors of the RGB color model its crystal clear water with a rich turquoise color. And it is better to see once, because words are limited, emotions and feelings are difficult to describe. We had a day, or rather almost 2 days of camping on the shore at this place. During this time I did several radial exits and one night shot.

Morning views from the tent

Morning views from the tent

While the main photo report of the Hike through the Fan Mountains is being prepared, and so that you are not sad, here is a presentation of the beauty of the mountains - morning views from the tent in places where you had to wake up and meet the dawn. The main attractions in the Fan Mountains are mountains, incredible lakes and many junipers. Yes, it is a real paradise for landscape photographers.
