Hello from Poland!

Hello everyone! I'm Pete, I'm in my mid-20s and I'm from the region of Lower Silesia in the southwestern corner of Poland. I enjoy hiking in the mountains and taking pictures of the beautiful scenery. I am by no means a professional photographer, but nevertheless, I'd like to share some photos showcasing the beauty of my home region, as well as other places I have visited in Europe.

Here's a couple photos I took 2 years ago. The first one is Śnieżka (or Sněžka, as it is called in Czech). It is the highest peak of the Sudetes, a mountain range located on the border between Poland and Czechia. Its elevation of 1,603 m (5,259 ft) above sea level may not seem like a lot compared to Alpine peaks, but it has the chilly, windy climate of much higher mountains. The UFO-shaped building on top was finished in the 1970s and houses a restaurant and a weather station. It was highly controversial at first, but now, it is considered iconic and no one in the area could imagine the top of the mountain without it!
