shot i the Sächsische Schweiz National Park, which is located just 1 hour drive from my home town. i sometimes go climbing or hiking there, really beautiful landscape with rough sand stone rocks and mountains.
in the background you can see the "Königstein", a castle built in 13th century.
here's wider view in the same direction

Very good range of tones in the background, and an interesting story in the foreground. I also like the effect of the long lens projecting the foreground into the vast expanse in the back.
very nice. i'd love to know where this is. The only thing i don't like about the picture is the houses on the far hill, but i won't fault you, i'm sure you didn't build them. ;)
