As if fallen out of time, the Prebischtor - the largest natural rock bridge in Europe - rests above an endless sea of forest in Bohemian Switzerland. This photograph captures the full breadth and depth of this extraordinary landscape. In the foreground, sandstone walls rise steeply into the depths, overgrown with mossy mats and crooked pines. The view opens wide over the wooded hills to the striking cone-shaped mountain on the horizon, which lies like a sleeping giant in the landscape.
The clouds slowly drift across the sky, while the last light of the day bathes the landscape in cool blue, quiet grey and delicate orange tones - a typical play of colours of the "blue hour". The structure of the clouds gives movement to the sky, while the solid rock below acts as a calm counterpoint. The Prebischtor spans the centre of these contrasts - seemingly weightless, firmly anchored in the stone and yet full of grace.
From the rock towers, the Bohemian Switzerland National Park can be seen in all its splendour. Nature has created a masterpiece here - not through planning, but through patience. Thousands of years of erosion, wind and rain have shaped this bridge - a marvel of time. The stillness of this scene speaks volumes: it invites you to slow down, to contemplate, to feel.
Ideally suited for large-format landscape murals, this motif is particularly good on canvas or behind acrylic glass. Whether in the living room, in quiet practice rooms or as an inspiring accent in the office: the combination of rock, light and distant views creates a meditative space. This picture acts like a window to the vastness - a gateway to the inner landscape.
It is not just a landscape photo, but a quiet moment, captured between day and night, between heaven and earth.
I have always enjoyed photography. Even when I was young, I took photos with the Beirette. It even happened to me once that I inserted a film twice ... and the photos I took were very interesting.
I then bought my digital SLR camera in 2014. The first photos..
