'E' is for ethereal

Ethereal, that's the best word to describe today's hiking, the views and the feelings they evoked in me...

We planned to climb to the top of Śnieżka and then go back to Karpacz through Strzecha Akademicka and Samotnia (tourist shelters). However, we were forced to change the plans due to very difficult weather conditions in the early afternoon. It was raining heavily and it was so foggy that you couldn't see anything farther than 10 metres away.

In this case, we decided to limit ourselves to Śnieżka and take a shorter route back to Karpacz. It was so surreal to climb it in a thick fog, unable to see the top...

When the view got a bit clearer, the landscape made me feel like being somewhere in Iceland, in the middle of wonderful "Rams" movie ("Barany. Islandzka opowieść"). It was so amazing, ethereal... Just like in a dream...I took some more pictures with today's letter and it was hard to decide, but this one reflects my state of mind best.
