Hiking in the Western Tatras, Slovakia

Hi all,

I've recently returned from a 5 week trip to Europe, which included Poland (visiting my wife's extended family), Slovakia and Finland. The trip was fantastic, and of course I came back with thousands of photos. I'll post a selection over the coming days/weeks as I process them.

During our 5 night stay in northern Slovakia, we did a great walk to a series of alpine lakes in the Tatra Mountains (known as Rohacske Plesa in Slovakian). It took 8 hrs and involved climbing and descending over 700m (the longest walk and most climbing that my kids have ever done), but the scenery was spectacular! Here are a few of the many shots I took. For those who are interested, the ridge in the background of image #4 is the Poland/Slovakian border.Hope you like them!

Cheers,
Stephen
