A branch, a rock, a mountain - and in between perhaps the most important natural monument in the Czech Republic: the Prebisch Gate, Europe's largest natural rock bridge. In this shot, it almost looks like a painting. The branches of the pine tree hanging above it form a gentle frame that makes the entire scene look like a window onto nature. It is a quiet moment, captured between light and darkness, between closeness and distance.
The massive sandstone portal dominates the foreground, its arched structure stretching powerfully across the wooded gorge. Covered in moss and individual pine trees, the bridge appears both rough and alive - like a creature that has been rooted in the landscape for thousands of years. The vast hills of Bohemian Switzerland spread out in the background, with its iconic Cone Mountain resting majestically on the horizon.
The sky appears in its most beautiful twilight colour: a play of rosé, violet and deep blue, interspersed with floating clouds that lend depth and atmosphere to the scene. The slight blurring of the branches in the foreground emphasises the clarity of the landscape all the more and creates a fascinating interplay between sharpness and gentle restlessness.
This motif is more than just a landscape photo - it is an image of pause. It conveys vastness, but also a sense of security. The natural framing by the branches creates intimacy, while the distant view promises freedom. Ideal as a high-quality landscape format print, for example on canvas or acrylic, this scene is particularly suitable for rooms where peace and concentration are sought - for example in living rooms or studies, yoga studios or reading areas.
The combination of composition, light and natural form makes this picture a real work of art - for lovers of nature photography with depth.

I then bought my digital SLR camera in 2014. The first photos..
