In the Suche (Dry) Mountains, the beeches are surprisingly green in May: an easterly view, towards the mountains around the Kłodzko Basin.

	Voted 10/10	Ireland ? please... definetely not cloudy enough, you won't find such forests here and so on... It's so great I haven't left the house for the whole weekend, so feel lucky to have our mountains just stone's throw away from yourself! Man, you can't imagine how much I dream of going hiking to some Carpathian ranges nowadays... Cheers from Dublin Tomek

	Hasn't voted	Cheer up Tomek! Time and distance are relative. A thousand miles for a falcon can be less than a stone's throw for a lame grasshopper. Especially if the falcon can relax on the plane :)

It looks a bit too green

Voted 10/10

to be anything BUT the Carpathians!

Its hard to make a comparison, when the object being compared is etched into your mind; like a traumatic event you'd like to cast out of your mind and deposit into a clear blue mountain lake.

This is a green scene that should be heard
as well as seen, because it sends a unique
message to us all - that of peace & tranquility !

Seriously ...

Voted 10/10

Why (on God's Green Earth) do they call them
the "Dry Mountains ???"

	yatsek	Re: Seriously ...
	Hasn't voted	A good question, thanks for asking, Larry. They're of old, hard, quite impermeable volcanic rock, which results in steep slopes and dry valleys. You just can't find a decent spring with drinkable water in these mts although there is a little mud along the way. Still they're really as green as in the pix, the reason – besides the annual rainfall of up to 0.9m – is probably the snow lasting relatively long.
