Golden Hour: magical sunset over extinct stratovolcanoes in rural Czech Republic

Hi there my Steemit friends and followers!

I really enjoy participating in the #goldenhourphotography contest hosted by @juliank and I must admit I sometimes take my cell phone and go "hunt" sunsets only for this purpose :)

Here is my latest catch.

I took this image from a field outside a small village in the Moravian - Silesian Region of the Czech Republic a few days ago. I do not know what kind of tree created this nice silhouette in the foreground but I can tell you something about those two little hills on the left in the background.

Known as "Velky Roudny" and "Maly Roudny" (translates as "Big Roudny" and "Small Roudny"), these hills are actually volcanoes. Now covered with dense forests, the volcanoes are believed to have been active until approximately 1 or 2 million years ago and have been considered extinct since then. Listed as National Natural Landmarks, they are among the best preserved stratovolcanoes in the country.

What a catch! Great job!

Beautiful as always. I might start posting some photos I have taken over the years, maybe when I finish my exams.

Thanks and good luck with your exams :)

simply beautiful, how beautiful the sun looks. I loved this sunset.

Thank you :)

Krása. Příště k tomu přidej "průřez" sopkou Uhlířský vrch ;-)

Áá, pán je znalec ;)

;-). Zapomněl jsem na Venušinu sopku, ale tam už toho k vidění moc není
