Description
Hungary was one of the biggest bauxite extracting countries of Europe. The bauxite mining of Gánt started in 1926. As the mines got emptied, the extractation ended. The strip mines are now large pits as some kind of amphitheatres.With the recultivation of these wounds of nature, the mines are now fit into the surroundings. The huge mine pit is now an open-air geological museum.
We can touch the yellow-red stones which 230 million years ago were the coast of North-Africa. What you see here is a scene from the past...

hátvégülis így jött ki, 1 RAW -ból készült, kis dinamika tartomány növeléssel + a szokásos görbejavítás. ráadásul itt böngészőben nem is úgy néz ki, ahogy megcsináltam, mer a Lightroom belementett valamilyen color profilt, amit a böngésző szerintem nem tud értelmezni.
köszi, jókor jött a kommented, mert kezdtem aggódni, hogy nem is olyan szé
