Tatra National Park, Slovakia

The High Tatras of Slovakia are home to dramatic peaks, glacial lakes, and pristine alpine scenery. This collage includes two iconic locations: Štrbské Pleso, a well-known lake resort framed by dense conifer forests and mountain views, and Velické Pleso, a remote high-altitude lake nestled under steep granite slopes. These references offer a strong sense of scale, with vertical contrasts between flat water and rugged terrain. Artists will enjoy practicing depth using tonal variation in greens and greys, while capturing still reflections and texture-rich vegetation. Use these images to explore mountain layering, shifting cloud light, and the interplay of shapes in nature.
