  4. The drama builds right from the foreground in this vista – gathers momentum through the clouds, drawing us on towards the far peaks. We can’t help ourselves. We must follow, however hard the path becomes…Stunning photo, Paula.

  5. I’ve seen somewhere this photo in colours…
    But B&W gives it a more dramatic impact….. A dream or a vision , perhaps…?

  29. Paula,
    I must say the music on this one is wild. I’ve never heard it before.
    I love the clouds floating above the mountains. It’s so mystical. Great photograph.
    I hope to get here more often in 2017. Belated Happy New Year wishes to you.
    May your year be filled with joyous laughter, good health and LOVE.
    Isadora 😎

    1. Yes, it is a Slovak folk song, fitting cause this castle is in Slovakia. Thank you for playing Isadora. Best wishes to you and your loved ones.
