[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Skadar Lake is one of the biggest lakes in Europe and definitely one of the most remarkable. It is 48 kilometers long and 26 wide during the high water. Interestingly its bottom lies few meters below the sea level - this is due to the very special geology of this karstic region. 2/3 of the lake belongs to Montenegro and 1/3 to Albania.

This shot I took at the end of a very long day of hiking along the lake shore. It was very close the Albanian border. The islands are a fragment of Krajinski Archipelago - a chain of islands with bird colonies and monasteries on almost each of them. The mountains on the other side are the foothills of Prokletije (Damned) Mts. in Albania.

After this exhausting hot day the sunset gave the whole area totally unreal look - the water looked like a sky and the sky gained some fairy rose tones. I felt as if I were in some kind of a dreamland...

Hi Michal,
A beautiful composition. The colors are beautiful and soft. The two islands appear to be floating in a 3D effect.
