As usual, I am spending this rainy Sunday browsing, classifying and preparing my older photos in Photoshop for final use. Besides of Photoshop work, this also consists of writing tons of proper English titles, descriptions and keywords as these are required by worldwide stock photography agencies. It is really a challenge sometimes to write a good English text that tells of things seen on the picture in the descriptive way. Usually, it can even take much more time per photo than actual Photoshop work itself!

Anyway, because I am again in some kind of reminiscent mood today, here is one scenery from my photography set of "Reflective collections of Liptov 2007", I have taken during my time on the shores at the Liptovska Mara lake, in the late autumnal evening of already mentioned year.

It was a time right before the sundown, when the sun went almost down, so the water surface in combination with circular polarization filter placed in front of the lens, really acted like a flat mirror, reflecting back atmosphere of the dramatic blue sky accompanied by vast hillscapes from the distant countrysides.

In case you are interested in geographical facts, these dominant hills calmly reflected on the Mara's surface are called, from left to right, Pravnac, Lomne (Lomy), as well as rocky-formed reef of Cerenova. Recreational tourists also may know that the famous Prosiecka Valley can be seen partially visible on the rightmost side of this picture.

I have taken this image just a few kilometers from a small village of Bobrovnik located northwest of the Liptovsky Mikulas town. This area is seated in scenery of the Chocsky Mountains, a mountain range situated between the Great Fatra and the Western Tatras.

The Liptovska Mara is the second largest lake in Slovakia by area (27 km2 / 10 mi2) and it is a very popular holiday destination for travelers and fisherman from all around the world; especially for tourists from nearby Poland. This lake is located on the Vah river, between towns of Ruzomberok and Liptovsky Mikulas, northern Slovakia.

All the great possibilities of recreational enjoyment in the area surrounding Liptovska Mara are extended by vast amount of cottages, family pensions, restaurants and hotels. Nearby this lake there are also many thermal pools and resorts available, as well as one of the biggest aqua-parks in the Central Europe.

If you will be nearby be sure to stop there. This location has so much to offer, both for regular tourists looking for relax and recreation on the beach, as well as for photographers looking for some picturesque natural sceneries! ;)
