For this weeks challenge kindly hosted by 
For this I went to the beautiful Island Beskids in Poland.
Although the Łopien mountain range is just 961 m in height, there can be sometimes harsh conditions and of course I took the steep route, which in parts can be quite stony or share its path with a creek here and there.
There is a vast areal you can explore here and a blog post is just not enough to show full respect to this natural phenomenon with its countless forest glades where you can get easily lost.
The first wild berries started to bloom and the mushrooming season was just around the corner.
Why is there actually straw laying around?
Finally I arrived at the top of the mountain.
Quite a hike for a little prayer, don’t you think?
A memorial plaque honoring the anniversary of the Polish popes death.
Every mountain has a cross on its summit, right?
Despite the hike and an early morning ashtanga practice, I stil had enough energy left so I decided to practice for a second time for 90 minutes in the beautiful sun and landscape.
Heading home I enjoyed the shadows of the trees and the song of the wind blowing through them, the birds chirping.
Then I discovered an observation post.
Of course I had to climb it.
Forget me nots, as I prefer to call them instead of mouse's ears, and other colorful flowers crossed my path.
The occasional gurgle of a mountain stream pleased my ear.
Peacefully I descended the mountain range and watched the sun settle.
Live long and prosper 🖖🏽, until next time,
