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.

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.
