Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

pretty cool shots. Nice composition too.

Great photos!!!! Thanks for showing them to us!

Thanks for the pics.
I like #3, it looks like they are walking into a huge storm front.
Any problems with batteries functioning in the cold weather?

Very nice!

I love these. Especially two and four. It really puts into perspective how massive the mountains are.

I had additional battery for both photobank, and the camera, so it wasn't an issue. Besides, the temperature was -7 Celcius degrees, to it coud be worst.

BTW winter in Europe in this year is " a bit " strange...

Great photos! I'm sure it was fun carrying all your gear PLUS the camera and such. Looks like fun!!

Geez look at the size of that hill!!!!

Nice shots!

To make the story more complete, a short description about the trip itself

Ornak is the mountain that leads You to the very top of the western Tatra Ridge, on the Polish side ...

We took the trip in the morning (8 a.m) and took us 2 hours to get to Iwaniacka valley (1400 m), from where he had to lead out own path, bacause the trail was under the snow, so we couldn't see it... It took about 1,5 hours more to get to the ridge (1800 m) So about 12 o clock we were " on the mountain " going through it's 4 peaks ... We wanted to get to Starobocianski Summit seen on the right side in > here < but the weather made it impossible this time ... all peaks above 2000 meters were under the clouds, it was very windy, and a lot of snow (3rd avalanache degree danger)

We have reached the hut, at 16.00

Regards

I agree. Thanks for sharing

I'm in the Army and they always tell us to '...lean into the hill and let the hill do the work for you...' except the hill just sits there and I still have to walk up it. Great picks!

thank You all for Your comments .
