Merry Christmas to You!

Good luck! ;)

En route Morské oko, Tatra National Park, Poland

Just returned from my trip to Poland, one of the most beautiful places I've been to. The photos I've taken seriously can't do the place justice. Walking through the Tatra National Park felt like I was taking a stroll through Christmas log cake decorations. Snow covered every inch of tarmac and every blade of grass. It was like walking through a world where there were just two colours, black and white.
