I just return from a short trip to Bieszczady Mountains.This is my first 2009 butterfly photo. It was taken during the walk to Mała Rawka mountain in The Bieszczadzki National Park. Spring in the mountains is beautiful (it is still early spring), with flowers, last snow and first butterflies (Gonepteryx rhamni and Pieris napi) You will soon see some photos from this trip in Michal (cedryk) gallery

Bieszczady, or Bieszczadzkie Mountains, is the Polish name of the western part of what the Polish call Eastern Beskids (Beskidy Wschodnie). It is a part of the Carpathian Mountains. The mountain range is situated between the Łupków Pass (640 m) and the Vyshkovskyi Pass (933 m).

The highest peak of Bieszczady is Mt. Pikuy (1405 m) in Ukraine. The highest peak of the Polish part is Tarnica (1346 m).

The colloquial Polish term referring to Bieszczady is Biesy, folk etymology connecting the origin of the mountains to demonic (bies) activities.

The Bieszczadzki National Park was established on August 4, 1973. Over the past few years, the Park has been enlarged significantly and now totals at 27,064 ha with forests covering most of its area (64%).

The vegetation zones, which are typically observed in other mountain ranges with a similar character, are significantly different in Bieszczady. Among the tree species found in the Park, the beech-tree dominates the forests, which are comprised of ca. 85 % beechwood.

The plant world of this region is very rich. There are approximately 900 species of vascular plants, including 42 species of plants under protection.

The fauna of Bieszczady includes some 200 rare species. Their number includes the European bison, which was introduced in 1963 in Forestry Stuposiany, as well as brown bear, lynx, wildcat, wolf, deer and wild boar. Birds are represented by over 100 species, including the Ural owl, Alpine hedge-sparrow, pipit, and golden eagle.

Hello Krzysztof,
Pleasant picture of Gonepteryx rhamni, which you show with this greenish color which the butterfly takes in the shadow. IT makes a lovely color contrast to the background. Good sharpness, like always. Interesting note too, a place to remember if going to Poland!
Thanks also for your excellent workshop on my Orange Tip picture. I guess
I don't work enough on my shots :-)
Have a nice day
Anne

Hola Krzysztof,
muy bien captada por su nitidez y realismo en los colores. Bien encuadrada y un fondo muy apropiado para el buen contraste.
Veo que ya empezó ahí el buen tiempo.
