Jan Legutko - landscape photos

Autumn light on Alpe di Siusi. There’s a certain stillness here that feels like a mountain-top version of Tuscany. The golden meadows and the rugged face of Sassolungo create a quiet, cinematic contrast that I could wander through all day. It’s a rare pocket of peace in the Dolomites.

Göscheneralpsee in Switzerland. It’s a reservoir - its water is used to create electricity. The hike goes around the reservoir, it’s about 9 kms long and takes about 3,5 hours. It wasn’t that hard, I enjoyed it - especially I was there with my friends!
Peaks: in the middle you can see a peak called Moosstock. On its left side, going left: Schneestock and Dammastock.

The High Tatras are a granite island in Central Europe, sculpted by Pleistocene glaciers. These jagged peaks contrast with wind-blown snow, marking a landscape where mountaineering traditions date back over a century. Human silhouettes appear as tiny dots against the prehistoric rock of Poland’s only alpine range.

A bird's-eye view of Tegallalang. These rice terraces are a masterclass in organic geometry. Looking down from the drone, the layers of emerald green feel less like a farm and more like a living sculpture carved into the Bali hillside.

This is Sasso del Signore (also known as Il Signore or Herrstein) in Dolomites, near Lago di Braies. The day wasn’t sunny, it was mostly cloudy. I spotted this peak almost accidentally and I took many shots, it almost felt as some model photoshoot - the clouds were changing just as if a model was changing a pose. It felt so intimate… and now I’m sharing this intimate moment with you all.

This is a view of Mała Koszysta from Goose Neck - which is a small peak really shaped like a neck! I never saw a place like this before, something remarkable. We came here from Rusinowa glade - a big meadow where a few hiking paths cross, a place with stunning views around it. The weather was clear on that day, there was some snow but we didn’t have any problems with hiking. Tatras in winter are beautiful.

This is a view of the Tunnel Beach in New Zealand. The name comes from a tunnel carved in the sandstone cliff that provides a way to get here. It is a very serene and peaceful place. I like this shot for its simplicity, minimalism and purity. Let me know if you like it.

It may seem too hard to believe that this photo was taken in Stavanger in Norway. You might think about Italy or some warmer country but it is Norway.
We were at our apartment, I looked behind the window and when I saw the hills with this sunny sky, I immediately grabbed my camera and took some photos - this is the best one I’ve got. The layers of the forest look just amazing… I couldn’t stop looking at them at that moment.

Mielno, Poland. These wooden groynes have been the front line of defense against the Baltic Sea for over a century. Here, the coast is in a constant state of retreat, with storms capable of moving the shoreline by a meter in a single night.
Peacful and colorful sunsets are the best. You can just sit, watch and relax. Second by second the beauty changes - better than watching TV!

Smreczyński Pond is a post-glacial moraine lake at 1226 m. This view shows the Ornak massif, where spruce forests undergo natural decay due to bark beetle and "halny" winds. The frozen surface sits in a depression formed by a retreating glacier. A raw, high-altitude ecosystem.

It is one of the highest peaks in the Carpathian Mountains, located on the border between Poland and Slovakia. It stands at an elevation of 1725 meters (5659 feet).
After a long hike and good meal, we witnessed this amazing sunset on a way to our place. A great dessert, huh? 😅

Jahňací štít / Jagnięcy Szczyt in Tatras. Winter in Tatras is magnificent. I must also say that I enjoyed hiking there. The paths were good, the views spectacular and the weather was quite stable. And that snow…

Dolomite peaks Croda dei Toni and Croda Antonio Berti rise above the clouds near Rifugio Auronzo. These ancient coral reefs became a vertical battlefield in WWI. The small Cappella degli Alpini on the trail honors those who served on this high-altitude front. A landscape where deep geological time meets 20th-century history.

View from Nosalowa Pass. We got lucky – despite the season, the trail was dry, which made the steep parts much easier. Perfect weather: not too cold, not too hot for a long hike. In the background, Zadni Granat and Kozi Wierch are already fully covered in snow.

This is Cascade River where it's getting into Lake Minnewanka. Would you believe that I took this photo during summer? It was a cloudy part of that day, but I liked that vibe. Days like this allow us to see different colors, milder, calmer than typical summer days - I enjoy these as well. Especially with clouds like these.
