Jaga, This is not a picture from the air, but rather one from across teh border. This is what Poland looks like from Slovakia, looking across the Poprad River at Zegiestow. I made the best panorama I could. With both "automatic" and manual splicing fo four photos, this was the best result. This was taken on Dec 27, so you can se how little snow there is! Kai  |

Kai, this is a great picture! It shows Polish individuality - the houses are spread out freely  Did I tell you that this summer I felt better in SLovakian Tatras than in Polish since Polish Tatra were just so overcrowded! At least you do not see these crods on this picture. |

We're all off for a skiing holiday in Slovak Tatras in a couple of weeks. 7th February to be precise. We're having a couple of days in Krakow followed by a week in Jasna, here - www.tatry.net/jasna/grand/I don't ski but Marta and Zosia will be learning. Looking forward to it very much. |

Scatts, have you had any snow? OK, with the magic of the Web I answered my own question:
3 Day Forecast & 5 Day Forcast
top: 2023m
mid: 1486m
bottom: 950m
So you should have good snow and sunshine! Here it is snowing again. Time to spend time shoveling the driveway and heading off for a noon cross country ski with friends!
Schi Heil! (Hail skiing!)

Thanks, GM. I was lucky to have a clear day and the sun at the right angle. In the summer I must go back and photograph Slovakia from Poland, again with a better sun angle than was available at the shortest time of year. I do belie Poland was occupied first, as people would naturally take advantage of the sunny south-facing slopes to get a better growing season. Of course, with that your specialty, I would be intersted in any comments along that line! I understand houses were also oriented to take advantage of sun angle, when possible.
I noticed on splicing the photos that the quality of the photo improves from right to left, thus when I splice a photo I should use the left side and crop the right side to match to get the best of both. I was rather surprised. I am using 4.1 megapixel setting on all of my photos, since I learned I can get between 400 - 500 photos on a 1 GB memory card.
Still, my all time favorite camera was a Rolie 35, one with which I photographed Pole john Paul in Mexico City ((1978?). The pictures just sparkled, they were so sharp. unfortunately I left it behind on a bus in Mexico. oh, the Pope chased me down twice more and waved hello all three times.
