Photographer's Note
Kežmarský Štit is the one of the highest summit in High Tatra and the one of the easiest available Tatra’ “gigants”.
Kežmarský Štit was visited by tourists already in XVII century. David Frölich, a student from Kežmarok and later a fames mathematician, was the first known by name tourist which reached the summit (1615). But probably hunters from Spiš were the first concquerors of this summit.
In 1654 year there were cans with parchment sheets on the summit to sign in tourist which reached the top. This tradition is continued till today by Horska Zachranna Sluzba which leaves notebooks on tops to sign in. In winter Guenter Dyhrenfurth and Alfred Martin reached the summit as the first in 1906.
A view from the top in the west direction is limited because of a near neighbourhood of such summits like Lomnický Štit, Pyšný Štit, Baranié Rohy, but it is the best point for panorama on a surroundings of Vel’ká Zmrzlá Valley andwhole Belanske Tatry.
The Slovak and Polish name of this summit comes from Bielej Vody Kežmarskej / Kieżmarska Valley and this from the one of Spiš’ towns, which was an owner of this area.

Hi Piotr

Hi Piotr
The red cable car stands out well against the bg blue sky and provides a fine focal point. Terrific alpine scenery and good that there is public access to the summit top left out of frame. Tfs!

Greeting.
Beautiful mountain, well shown with beautiful colors, contrast, perspective and good text.
Beautiful High Tatras.
A well-captured moment with a red cabin on the cable car.
I wish you all the best.

Bonjour, cher Piotr,
La cabine suspendue semble minuscule à travers la montagne.
C'est toujours là que l'on mesure de la petitesse de l'homme par rapport à la nature !
La joliesse d'ensemble est remarquable.
Amitiés.

Czesc Piotrze, wróciłeś w Tatry. Taki łatwo dostępny szczyt, ale nie dla każdego czy kazdej :). Majestatyczna kompozycja. Świetnie uchwyciłeś ten czerwony wagonik. Ostrość fenomenalna, jak bym tam była.
Pozdrawiam 8*.

Well done.

Hello Piotr,
The views from the red cable car would be exciting, but we also get a very good view from down here. The steep grey rocks are impressive, but I wouldn't try to climb them. The nearest area looks okay. Another very good photo with the cable car as a superb eye-catcher.
Regards,

Hello Piotr,
This is a clear exposure, detailing the rugged textures of the rock faces, in contrast with the scree slope in the f/g.
Then ... the red cable car comes into focus and the whole photograph takes on a new scale! Amazing!
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Piotr
This rocky mountain surface with mass of detail dominates strongly but great you have found eye catching colours up there to break the monotony. There's a good sense of depth, space and height with the tiny cable car shows the scale tremendously. Excellent shot and tfs
Best regards

The small red cable car is perfectly placed with the blue sky background.

Hello Piotr,
A fantastic mountain landscape. You captured the shapes of the rocks so well and with superb clarity. That tiny little cable car seen against the blue sky is an excellent bonus as well.

Piekna pogoda. Przyjemne kolory.
Spektakularny widok,
Pozdrawiam serdecznie,

Hi Piotr
Another good one from the High Tatra. This one is helped by that dot of red of the chairlift seemingly floating in the middle of nowhere.
cheers

Hello Piotr,
The red cabin is well placed between the rocks and has the nice blue sky as background.
The slope does not seem like an easy terrain to climb because of the many boulders.
Beautiful picture of the rugged mountains.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Piotr,
I like the inclusion of the demarcation between vegetation and solid rock. The presence of the cable car is a definite bonus.

Witaj Piotrze,
Sliczna panorama Wysokich Tatr z Kezmarskim Szczytem.
Czerwony wagonik kolejki na Lomnicki Szczyt jak wisnia na torcie dodaje atrakcji tej fotografi.
Udane zdjecie jak rowniez swietne kolory, swiatlo oraz ostrosc.
Pozdrawiam,
Zbigniew
