Mountains always and everywhere have a shade of some sublime and romantic mystery. Distant peaks are shrouded with an atmosphere of secrets and mysteries that have gone into the past long time ago.
The echo of this mood can be felt in many corners of the earth, cut by the changeable lines of the mountainous relief. The more you travel in the mountains, the more often you are faced with the need to express some strange, elusive feeling that makes being in the mountains truly meaningful.
For many people, mountains are a peculiar form of religion, a way to touch and to be filled with new energy, to renew their vitality. Philosophers, artists and researchers wrote a lot about the magical power and inexplicable influence of the mountains. Truly, the great Russian explorer and talented artist N. Roerich made an invaluable contribution to the treasury of the art of knowing the mountains - one glance at his stunning landscapes is enough to catch this feeling of the misty ridges, laying on top of each other and going somewhere to other worlds...
The mountains have always inspired, taught and consoled those who came to them with an open heart and without other profit than search of their truth. Perhaps this is the main property of this natural phenomenon. Well, we can only try the best of our ability to understand and accept this priceless gift of the nature. Mountains are good everywhere - both majestic snowy peaks and gently sloping endless alpine meadows covered with flowers, like the night sky - with stars.
Everywhere in the mountains, you can find something of your own, close and dear to your heart. You can paint a picture or make a magical video. Or you can just write a few lines. The main thing is sincerely, without forcing over your gift of expression.
